I'll have to try this, with all the recent fixes I am down to NMI lockups
like this being the major cause of fuzzer issues on my intel machines.

My AMD and ARM machines are now fuzzing for weeks w/o problems.

I also finally got a power8 machine and it crashes really quickly when
fuzzing, but I haven't had a chance to track dthings own yet because it
sounds like a jet plane taking off and I can't really leave it fuzzing
like that when students are sitting nearby. Maybe over break.
