I may have wasted your time.  The first one is unusable (lots of ddb
cruft).  Damned gdb -k.  Grrr.

I don't have read perms on vmcore.{1,2}, so I don't know if they are
helpful.   

If you're willing to get your traces via ddb's debug.trace_on_panic
and to set debug.debugger_on_panic=0, then we might get at least a
partial trace.  FWIW, I have to do this to get any sort of crashdump
at all on SMP x86.  I'm amazed you were able to call doadump from ddb.
When I try that on x86,   I just get a continuous stream of panics or
fatal traps.
