Logging out of GNOME consistently triggers this.  The thread that is
active in kgdb is gnome-session:

(kgdb) info threads
  ...
  138 Thread 100142 (PID=2314: gnome-session)  doadump () at pcpu.h:246
  137 Thread 100100 (PID=2314: gnome-session/initial thread)
        sched_switch (td=0xc6a86230, newtd=0xc6564230, flags=1538)
        at /usr/src/sys/kern/sched_ule.c:1864
  ...

I'll try the patch in a few hours and report back.  Thanks! :)
