Since the last panic I upgraded to

FreeBSD slurp.rodal.no 5.1-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.1-CURRENT #2: Fri Sep 12 08:59:58 CEST 2003     root_at_slurp.rodal.no:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/slurp i386

(both world and kernel).  I am still able to reproduce this, and it is
fairly simple.  On a smp machine (haven't tried my laptop, and I got
more important stuff there that I dont want to lose in a panic) do the
following:

 1) Install the mozilla-firebird port
 2) Edit libmap.conf so that it uses libkse
 3) Start it by running "firebird --debug", this will present you with
    a gdb prompt.  Type run here and watch your computer panic.  (It
    takes a little while)

So this brings up the question, is there a known problem with
debugging multi-threaded applications (which use libkse) that can
cause a panic?  I will bring home my laptop, and will be able to use a
serial debugger if that would help anyone willing to trace this down.
