Hi!

I tried it several times now.

The kernel is hard-locked when that happens, i.e. it won't produce a
kernel dump.

If I compile a kernel with DDB support, I can do "trace", but only
until an exit of a fork() call, so this doesn't help either.

I have the assembler in-kernel code, that is executed right after a
fault, but manually initialing a kernel break at this point (e.g. by a
halt point) immediately reboots the kernel.
Note that the said fault is a plex86 specific fault, which happens
while monitoring the guest os, and not a FreeBSD kernel fault.

Thus I'm unable to find the code surrounding the fault, I'm sorry.
