The haswell has been fuzzing 12 hours with only a NMI dazed/confused 
message.

The AMD A10 machine however has a wedged fuzzer process.  I think a 
different problem than the core2 one.  I don't have a serial console on 
that machine yet, I guess time to set one up.

I do think though that the memory corruption bug has been fixed by the 
patch.
