hwpmc deadlock: processes hang on pmc-sx

[Bruce Cran]

I decided to try hwpmc today, but ran into a
deadlock on the second run.  I'm using a dual core laptop:

CPU: AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-52 (1600.07-MHz K8-class
CPU) Origin = "AuthenticAMD"  Id = 0x40f82  Stepping = 2

I ran the command 
pmcstat -O test.stat -n 32768 -S instructions

I found that I couldn't quit pmcstat and any attempt to run new
processes hung too.  The 'ps' listing in ddb
contained the following:

State     wmesg     cmd
Ss       pmc-sx     sh
S        piperd     cron
S        pmc-sx     cron
S        pmc-sx     gconf-d
T+       pmc-sx     dmesg
S+       pmc-sx     top
SL       pmcloop    [hwpmc]
S+       pmcctx     pmcstat

Are there any commands I should run at the debugger to
collect more information if I trigger it again?
