>Release:        FreeBSD 2.2-STABLE i386
>Environment:

Any RELENG_2_2 kernel with an ahc(4) driver, and kernel core dumping
enabled.  Observed for at least half a year now.

>Description:

When the kernel tries to dump core on the mentioned system, it starts
to say `dumping ...', but then jams.  The machine needs a hard reset
in order to be freed.

>How-To-Repeat:

Configure a RELENG_2_2 kernel with an ahc(4) driver for kernel core
dumping, and cause a panic.  Calling `panic' from DDB should suffice.

>Fix:
	
Unknown.  Suspecting some problem with interrupts enabled, but the
driver trying to poll the controller.
