On the most convenient test platform, "No," "Yes," and "No."

My kernels are based on netbsd-7 GENERIC, so none of those options are
enabled.  They are built with "kernel.gdb=FOO", so there is a "netbsd.gdb"
for it.  The convenient client operates completely diskless, so forcing
a crash dump is not possible.

I can switch to -current to see if the problem persists and that will
get me "DIAGNOSTIC" by default.  I can arrange for the other options
easily enough.  I could use another client to test and get disk-based
swap for a crash dump.
