That was it! It looked like something else because of configuration
issues with debug printout when the OS took a fatal exception.

Greatly appreciate the help and suggestions about register state
dumping, this is very useful.

Just curious, is there any way to send a value to QEMU for a debug
exit that it will propagate to its exit value to the shell? An xtensa
emulator I worked with let you do this.
