Do you remember what FreeBSD version you tried this on?
I use watch under FreeBSD 4.9 without any problems, and can kill it
without resulting in the machine rebooting.

It would be nice if this could work on -CURRENT, but I don't
know how to go about debugging something where the machine
reboots (not even the kernel panics).

Any hints on how to do this?

Thanks.
