    I found the bug.  It's a bug in the objcache calls to free the thread
    structure.  objcache_put() is being called with td in the context of
    that same td, which is illegal.

    What I will have to do is put a one-entry TD cache back in the per-cpu
    globaldata so the TD remains valid through cpu_thread_exit().
