Yes, I remember having seen it in the past.

Hehe, I've seen your emails on the subject in the archive ;-)

Looks like a good idea.

Yes, I have ddb in the kernel, although I am not good at it (I prefer
symbolic debuggers ;-). It is panicing in the initialization of the
routing tables, probably because I am playing with them :-)
Anyway, reading the email archives I found a suggestion by bde (I
think) who said: who needs a core dump, if you can use remote gdb?
Well, since I have two machines, I found that remote gdb is the way to
go :-)
Thanks
