"reset" from ddb will generally reset without a hitch. "panic" will usually hang after dumping; what's interesting is that on a system without dump support, "panic" will still hang. Has anyone looked into this? The failure of the automatic reboot at that point is making it a bit more difficult to debug problems effectively, as well as reducing the ability of the system to recover following a panic.
