>Description:
sysctl -a

hangs at debug.witness.free_cnt

Pressing the debug key does not trap to the debugger.

I modified the syscons keymap so that ctrl-esc is the debug key, as
ctrl-alt is a special key on Desktop.

I'm running on a virtual machine (Parallels Desktop for Mac 4.0), but
that should not make any difference, I say hopefully.

sysctl -a was ok on 8.0-CURRENT here as of October 2009 on all
my other VMs

This bug breaks /etc/rc.d/initrandom as it uses sysctl -a to generate
some entropy.
