FreeBSD netdev3.net.tamu.edu 5.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE #3: Tue Nov  9 13:59:40 CST 2004     manager@netdev3.net.tamu.edu:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/GENERIC  i386

>Description:
The ichwd driver in 5.3-RELEASE is broken.  Although the driver will load, it will not initiate a reboot if the userland daemon goes away.
>How-To-Repeat:
Load the ichwd kernel module.  Start watchdogd with an appropriate timeout value (watchdogd -t 10).  kill -9 watchdogd
>Fix:
A patch is available at http://freebsd.tamu.edu/wdog/
