I don't have kdb enabled in my kernel configuration at all...

See my other mail, a different (non-watchdog) panic didn't trigger a dump
either. I even had the panic message in dmesg:
kernel trap 12 with interrupts disabled
Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
fault virtual address = 0x14c
fault code = supervisor write, page not present
instruction pointer = 0x8:0xc0521397

frame pointer = 0x10:0xe9794b90

processor eflags = resume, IOPL = 0
current process = 1281 (beep-media-player)
trap number = 12
panic: page fault

(I enabled kern.sync_on_panic only very recently for my experimenting with
watchdog, dumping didn't work without it either).
