        during the hang db says (copied by hand):

        gettick()
        delay()         
        __wdcwait_reset()
        wdcprobe()      
        wdcattach()     
        wdc_pcmcia_attach()
        config_attach()
        config_found_sm()               
        pcmcia_card_attach()
        cardslot_event_thread()
        Bad Fram pointer: (hmmm...)

        don't spin-wait in the wdc code waiting for this slow card to get
        its act together.
