I'd much rather have kgdb working than ddb, yes.  However, at one
point not too long ago i _did_ make a start on ddb.  That work has
been on the shelf since I left CMU; I was going to try to hand it off
to Jason Thorpe before i left, but I seem to recall that it slipped
through the cracks.  Anyway, I should be able to do that soon.
