 OK, so these show that:
 
        config_cfdriver_lookup+0x1e
        config_cfattach_lookup
        config_match
        config_search_loc
        config_found_sm_loc
        config_found
        audio_attach_mi
        esm_attach
 
 is the stack trace.  and this is the code and asm:
 
 struct cfdriver *
 config_cfdriver_lookup(const char *name)
 {
         struct cfdriver *cd;
 
         LIST_FOREACH(cd, &allcfdrivers, cd_list) {
                 if (STREQ(cd->cd_name, name))
                         return cd;
         }
 
         return NULL;
 }

 >> marks the faulting instruction.  so something is wrong with 
 the allcfdrivers list here, i think.  robo, can you run these
 command from the db> prompt:
 
 db> p $eax
 
 db> x 0xc0bc2bfd
 
 the STREQ() macro checks that the first char matches first, before
 calling strcmp() directly (side comment: this seems like a strange
 optimisation for autoconf code.)
 
 i'm not sure what is happening here, but the allcfdrivers list
 appears broken some how.  or perhaps a cfdriver entry.  i don't
 know autoconf code very well.
