I'd like to clarify what Will said before we get led down astray by the people who're just mailing for the sake of mailing. The problem I often had with freebsd-bugs when I was very active there was that folks would catch a panic, send a backtrace with absolutely no debugging symbols and then move on. Often, these people were not prepared to try to reproduce the panic. If we had CURRENT's kernel default to including full debugging support, I think we'd get better results out of many of our bug reports. Ciao, Sheldon.
