It's 3.12, on a core2 machine.

Sadly I don't have the event config.  To reproduce I start my perf_fuzzer 
running and typically it will hit the error/lockup within an hour or so 
of fuzzing assuming it doesn't hit one of the other outstanding bugs 
first.

I can probably narrow it down but that involves a lot of luck as well as a 
lot of time and I might not get a chance to do so until next month at the 
earliest.
