I have not tried to get this to the stage of "reproducer" yet.  This only
seems to happen on occasion when this is started.

If a $SCHDWK comes along, accoording to the source, it checks to see if
it's the null thread and simply loops back onto the $HIBER...

 while (!vp->wakeRequest) {
         osDebugBugcheckBad (sys$hiber ());
  :

I'm trying to get the trcWriteIV ( ) after this to produce some output
but I've not gotten the proper incantation.  Can you advise?  I'm also
confuse as to where the OTS$MOVE, which appears in the PRF PC trace, is
coming into play.
