The last 5 system panic messages are saved in NVRAM with
the pointers logged in a table in NVRAM.  These areas
did not ever get initialized.
A bug in the old errdump, it tries to read the messages
through uninitialized pointers if the system did not
have 5 panics.

Work around: Panic system five times to initialize the pointer table.
