Possible issue with firmware crash reporting.

This kernel is basically linux-ath from a few days ago
plus a bunch of my patches, including my versions of the firmware
BSS and stack dump patches.
Problem could be mine alone, but likely the patches Kalle
is working on would be susceptible to the same sort of problem.

I produced this by purposefully crashing the firmware during
station registration while debugging some firmware issues.

This is just FYI, but if someone cares to do similar
testing, I can build a special firmware that crashes
in the same way and make it available.
