Did you re-install the includes?  I'm compiling stuff with DDB and I
don't have any problems.

Hmm, not good.  It should give you a back-trace of the system.  You may
want to post this kind of information to -stable and see if they know of
bugs in the current system.

(Note, I'm also having problems getting a back-trace as well when it
crashes mounting my DOS partition...)

Ahh, can you disable APM just for kicks to see if that makes things any
better?
