I've experienced the same random reboots for some time but I know its
related to a user application, Matlab. Matlab is a Linux binary
application which usually works fine except when a remote user logs in to
use Matlab and on occasion causes the machine to reboot as they attempt to
start it up. I've never been able to get a core dump even with a debug
kernel to send in, is there something other than what I already have in
the debug kernel options (see below) and yes I do a "make install.debug"
and have verified that the kernel is the same as the kernel.debug thats
created.

OPTIONS:

makeoptions     DEBUG=-g    #Build kernel with gdb(1) debug symbols
options         DDB_UNATTENDED
options         INVARIANT_SUPPORT
options         INVARIANTS
options         DIAGNOSTIC
options         COMPILING_LINT

or it this too much or wrong?
