Well, I just rewrote this code (after the 14th) to clean up a number
of problems in this area. 

Can you possibly try a current cvs tree. If you hit it again it will
be in submit_bh this time. Can you run with kdb again, specify y
for the KDB modules command. If it should happen again, run the
bt command, take the second argument of the submit_bh function
and use the bh command on it.

Thanks
