This is most likely just the timer thread being terminated when the main
thread decides to cancel the timeout for the floppy. Take out the
dbg_enter() in os/kern/event.c for the case of un-handled events, and it'll
run much better.
Now that we have adb(1) and debugging support, I think I'll be removing this
for v1.3. It used to be very convenient for taking a look at why your user
programs were dying, but adb is a better way to look anyway.
BTW... I haven't tested the floppy driver in a LONG time. Expect some bit
decay.
