It would be nice to have more accurate information here.  If you can't
get a dump (how are you trying?), try getting a backtrace from ddb.
Just enter 't' and write down what it outputs (or log it if you're
running a serial console).

Yes, it should count down from 96 in steps of 16.

Who knows?  You need to report more of what is happening.  I've given
you details of what I need already.
