So, I am admittedly not too familiar with DDB.  In fact, I just now
realize the kernel is built without DDB...

Additionally, the kernel is built without WITNESS.

Thanks for these.

I have the outputs of 'ps', 'allpcpu', and 'thread apply all bt' saved
to separate script(1) files.  Is there anything in particular I can look
for before uploading the files somewhere public?  At quick-ish look
though, I did not see anything cf-agent (the current process at time of
panic) related.

Right, and I can keep anything available for as long as necessary.
