Should be fixed in rev.1.592 of i386/machdep.c.  Sorry about that.

This is a side effect of the bug that I suspected but didn't see in
normal operation.  npxdna() fixes up the problem OK except for printing
an error message, but trap() enables interrupts and npxdrop() is depending
on them staying disabled.  Switching context to an ithread is possible and
causes the above null pointer panic.
