I'm not sure I can do this at all, and certainly, not this weekend. If
anyone already has a serial console set up, the problem should not be
difficult to reproduce in the following easy steps:

1) On a fresh 6.0-BETAX, install the audio/timidity++ port and try

	gdb timidity

2) Once in the debugger, run the program to play your favorite tune, such
as on downloaded from:

	http://www.fortunecity.com/tinpan/vanishing/189/themes/PinkPanther.mid

	(gdb) r /tmp/PinkPanther.mid

3) Interrupt the play by pressing Ctrl-C.
4) Try exiting the debugger... *BOOM*.

To save time, be sure to either unmount your filesystems or remount them
read-only. Thanks!
