Something weird is going on here. selwakeuppri() doesn't call any of the
printf functions -- it calls doselwakeup() and thats it. I don't see
anything in doselwakeup() that would call a printf function offhand.  The
null arguments in frame 9 are also odd and would certainly trip up
doselwakeup() since it immediately dereferences sid.

This was opening a serial device it looks like.  Do you have syslog set to
output to a serial terminal, or have getty enabled on ttyd*, or something
plugged into any serial port, or something of that nature?  The later call
to ttwakeup() occurs in a block where carrier has been raised.
