The system is an IA32 based server, running an up-to-date -CURRENT.  I 
have KDB and DDB in the kernel.  Up to the DDB change, I set the sysctl to 
0 and have the box automatically dump core and reboot, if I trigger a 
KASSERT or run into a plain NULL pointer dereference.  Now, it just sits a 
the DDB prompt.  If you need more info, let me know what's needed.

In this particular case, it's a NULL pointer dereference (might be a 
0xdeadc0de - haven't found out yet) that panics the box.
