DDB_UNATTENDED doesn't work right yet.  Its only effect is to clear
the debugger_on_panic variable, which controls entries to the debugger
on panics and on fatal traps.  The following entries to the debugger
are not controlled:
- someone attending the console and hitting the Debugger hotkey.
- stray Debugger() calls in source code.  There is now a non-stray one
  in watchdog_fire().
- stray breakpoints in source code or left over from previous debugging
  session.
- stray trace traps, perhaps from trace flags set in previous debugging
  session (these can be deep in stacks and hard to kill).
