I have had crash dumps on panics running head (slice 4 of the boot
device, in my case) in the past, so that process works. I just didn't
get a dump this morning. :-(
d130(9.3)[1] grep dump /S4/etc/rc.conf
dumpdev="AUTO"

Does that process yield useful information? (That is, is that process
sufficiently similar to a sequence of events that occurs in the real
world that the resulting information may be used to figure out how to
make the code avoid misbehavior?)
If so, I can try that soonish (e.g., en route home today, once I've
boarded the train -- vs. while I'm still on my bike :-}).
Peace,
