I guessed that the problem is that the keyboard code still thinks
you keep L-Amiga and L-Alt pressed. Pressing and releasing each
once should be sufficient.

Now for my problem: if I load the kernel with symbols (loadbsd -S)
and I request a stack backtrace when I enter ddb with the keyboad
combination, I get a mmu error (sorry that I don't have the details
handy) when I think it is about to print the call of _main().
So I trap into ddb recursively, and if I issue the same command again
(trace) it works ok. It also works if I had loaded no symbols in
the first place (but obviously I don't get the function names).
The last time I tried this was relatively short after the keyboard
entry into ddb was introduced; I usually don't intentionally crash
my system...

\X/ An original idea. That can't be too hard. The library must be full of them.
