Subject: "NMI ... going to debugger" -- possible to store a backtrace?

I've been dumped into the debugger about once a week because of
messages like:

Jul  6 10:01:05 monolith /netbsd: NMI ... going to debugger

As I almost exclusively use X and have ddb.onpanic=0, I thought
the machine had gone into a deep hang and would reboot.  I discovered
this morning that it's in the debugger and could be resumed, and
found the above message in /var/log/messages.

Is there anything I can do to get a trace?  Or rather, to dump the
trace to a useful spot to look at later?

Brian.
