Excuse the delay.. I've been waiting for my systems to crash, but they
wouldn't do that :-)
you haven't been following -current very hard, then... :-)
Do you have any more detail? Your statement looks like it's some kind
of follow-up on something I apparently missed.
ok. after my kernel dumps a core, and savecore saves it into /var/crash,
and i run gdb -k netbsd.N netbsd.N.core, and get a stack dump, all it
goes back to is, in this case, mem_access_fault(), which caused a kernel
fault -> panic. there is absolutely no indication of _where_ in the
kernel the fault happened, that i could see.
that's about all i have, sorry.
