I think I've tracked the offending line down, in sys/contrib/dev/acpia/sparse.c

Status = WalkState->AscendingCallback (WalkState);

The line shows up several times in the file, but that's the first
occurance of it in the file.

Interestingly, the function that line's in (or the while loop) does seem to
be successfully run a few times before it fails. Is there anything else
I should be looking for? I've looked around the source tree trying to
figure out exactly what AscendingCallback is, but I'm not finding
anything.
