I found it very interesting, and = tried it again (after rebooting, of course), with the same result. I = get a trap 9 error message, with info on the instr.ptr. , stk.ptr. , = frame.ptr. and so on. What is this "feature"? I've used FreeBSD for a = couple of years, but never touched those buttons together, and I have = never seen anything like that message. The panic message is 'panic: = general protection fault'. I didn't find anything in the handbook, and = the archives are down, so I'm just a little curious to see if someone = knows anything about this.
