It isn't panicing. It just gets wedged. I did get into DDB 'cause
I happened to be at a non-X virtual console. I'm sorry that I don't
have enuf experience with ddb (and the kernel wasn't config'd with -g)
to get much info.
I did force a panic and saved the dump. If you think it's worth
looking at. I can set up an account on my box or ftp the dump
somewhere.
