No, this is fetch from kernel/forth.c:589. Pretty difficult to use
breakpoints directly.

But I put a breakpoint in trap table to get at least the registers:
Breakpoint 3, 0x00000000ffd00680 in trap_table ()

The offending instruction is:
0x00000000ffd0e920 <fetch+64>:  ldx  [ %g2 ], %g2

I can't remember offhand if the global registers are from the caller
or alternate ones. If they are already from alternate sets, then we
have to use additional GDB to debug also QEMU.
