  Yes, agreed. Since I wasn't getting a panic dump from it, I was getting
anxious, and hoping that this was something known.

  Okay, I replaced my aged /sbin/savecore with a more recent version, and
I got a panic dump from the system.  (alas, I've been sick all weekend)

  This is what I have so far:

istari-[network/kernels/crash/lox] mcr 455 %gdb netbsd.0

panic: ptdi %x
#0  0x0 in ?? ()
(gdb) bt

  Uh? Huh? Now I can't get the results. ARGH. 
  My mail server is now running 1.3F. If the problems go away, then knock
on wood...
