If this is the backtrace, somehow the stack pointer has gotten
corrupted.

If this task is not blowing its stack, then we are left with a couple
of guesses:

+ another task is blowing its stack and corrupting memory
that impacts this task.
+ stray write is corrupting something.

When did you see the %g1 have 0?  What was the last instruction?
Where was it loading from?

This only affects POSIX semaphores sem_XXX.

I doubt it since you appear to be completing a semaphore_obtain.
That means (probably) that a semaphore_create worked.

  Do a backtrace in gdb.  I suspect you will find you are  coming from a 
subsystem
like termios.
