I triggered one of these last weekend, too.  Peter mentioned something to
me about it being caused by both CPUs IPIng at once and there no deadlock
avoidance in that case.  It died for me in installworld, though, which
made for a messy fixup job.

I guess our work on getting the kernel free-running is uncovering all
sorts of fun issues.
