Evening...

	Seems the problems I've been experiencing haven't necessarily been
a SCSI bus hang (apologies all around!)...last nights and tonights 'hangs'
have been a result of a "panic: page fault".  The reason that it didn't
reboot is, at this time, undetermined, but it tried.  When I got to the
office, the monitor was completely blank, as if it tried, but failed, to
reboot.  Hitting the reset button seems to reset that.

	Now, onto the panic itself.  When all this started, I decided to
make a go at a debug kernel again, so I have a core dump, but trying to do
a GDB on it results in:

quagmire# gdb kernel.gdb vmcore.4

"/var/crash/vmcore.4" is not a core dump: File format not recognized
(gdb) quit
quagmire# which gdb
/usr/bin/gdb
quagmire# ls -l /usr/bin/gdb
-r-xr-xr-x  1 bin  bin  708608 Oct 21 02:19 /usr/bin/gdb
quagmire# 

	I'm going to go and recompile gdb again, in case it has something
to do with that...but if its something else I'm not aware of, please let me
know, as I'd like to get this problem fixed :(

Thanks...
