Hello!

   I'm facing with a strange debugging problem under the fresh (19-Dec-2006)
CURRENT on the uniprocessor i386 machine. My kernel config is:

To demonstrate the problem, I've forced an artificial panic from the
singleuser mode using the 'sysctl debug.kdb.panic=1' command, and then
typing 'panic' from ddb. kgdb against the resulting kernel dump fails to print 
complete backtrace:

(kgdb) where
#0  doadump () at pcpu.h:166

(kgdb)

However, if I turn ddb off with the 'sysctl debug.debugger_on_panic=0' and
then obtain a kernel dump via 'sysctl debug.kdb.panic=1', kgdb completely
unwinds the stack from the resulting dump:

Previous frame inner to this frame (corrupt stack?)

I've tried to repeat this under the RELENG_6 as of 30-Oct (just removing
kernel options COMPAT_43TTY, COMPAT_FREEBSD6, INVARIANTS, INVARIANT_SUPPORT,
and using 'debug.kdb.enter' instead of 'debug.kdb.panic') - and kgdb unwinds
the stack even if the dump got via typing 'panic' from ddb:

#17 0x00000033 in ?? ()

So it looks like a regression in CURRENT vs RELENG_6 (either ddb 'spoils' the 
stack somehow, or kgdb fails to unwind it).
