	They fixed the netscape related panics I was seeing (1.4 would

	It looks like subprocess 25 or so fro the set crash for me. The
	quickest way to generate the problem is with
	'crashme +2000.0 690 100'.
	
	I cannot get anything from DDB 'trace',
	so I'm going to bail at this point and submit a PR :/

	While I was about it I've updated the crashme pkg to not require
	you to be in the /usr/pkg/sbin dir before running for it to pick up
	the path for running children.
