I guess this is something that should be asked to the openocd people. I
haven't got around to look at it more yet though. It might even be a
known issue I suppose.

Or perhaps the timing difference is triggering some real kernel bug.
Anyway, without OpenOCD, I don't see random kernel crashes anymore.
