    I found the problem.  A bug in the interrupt code required the MP
    lock to be held to process FAST interrupts that were delayed due to
    a critical section.  This resulted in the clock interrupt getting hung
    up on a cpu.

    In this case the issue is primarily related to old code in splz and 
    doiret.  I will commit a fix (to basically just remove the old code).
