>Description:
The gdb shipped with 3.0 doesn't seem to recognize a.out anymore, and it
can't read /kernel or /var/crash/kernel.*; this makes kernel core dumps
not nearly as useful as they should be. The gdb shipped with earlier
versions of FreeBSD doesn't seem to be able to read 3.0's core dumps
either.

>How-To-Repeat:
Cause 3.0 to core dump (an exercise left to the reader)

gdb /var/crash/kernel.0
