The real trace ends with Xint0x80_syscall().  The rest after that is garbage 
memory.  Your real problem is in exit1() or ttywakeup().  Since ttywakeup() 
doesn't call exit1() (AFAIK), the exit1() frame is probably bogus (gdb 
doesn't grok trapframes maybe?) and the real bug is a NULL pointer deref in 
ttywakeup().  Perhaps it's a bug in the ptc driver?  (ptcopen is in the 
trace).  What is the ptc driver anyway?
