Environment:
FreeBSD 2.2-RELEASE cvsup'd and made world after 2.2-BETA release.
Description:
/usr/sbin/watch when ran asks for device to snoop. Hitting return at
this prompt causes the machine to page fault and reboot.
How-To-Repeat:
Run /usr/sbin/watch as root then hit return at the device prompt. This
should then page fault and reboot your system.
Fix:
workaround: pass device on command line.
