Not sure what this would do, apart from crash the machine immediately.
The problem, when it happens, is it's like power reset.

Ideally what I guess needs to happen is that the problem (whatever is 
causing it) needs to crash to debugger or and/or make a crash dump
before completely exiting. Do you think enabling WITNESS and friends 
may help?
