The result I have with build 882 and Telescope:
- working nicely
- click 'diigital zoom'
- Telescope gets unresponsive (no picture anymore)
- oops over the serial console
- mouse and keyboard are still functioning
- Telescope can be (forcefully) stopped
- Telescope fails to sart (requires reboot)
- no additional oopses recorded

The oops is available in #11128.
