that is the end of the function:

...
        schedule();
        BUG();
        /* Avoid "noreturn function does return".  */
        for (;;) ;
}


So the questions are two:

1) why schedule() didn't work?

2) why the process is looping around "ud2a" (placed by BUG()) and
presumibly throwing a lot of "invalid opcode" exceptions?
