That's a typical timer crash, but you were unable to debug it with
debugobjects because commit d3f661d6 broke those.

Christoph, debugobjects do not need to run with interupts
disabled. And just because they were in that section to keep all the
debug stuff together does not make an excuse for not looking at the
code and just slopping it into some totally unrelated ifdef along with
a completely bogus comment.
