I was testing a patch and getting a panic (page fault while in kernel mode)

It simply dropped me to the interactive ddb(4) prompt, nothing more. Do you
have any idea what I could be missing?
Dear Ulrich:
I have been using DDB scripts on 7-STABLE without any problems, but I'm not
sure I've tried it with a page fault, just regular panics. Could you try
entering the debugger via "sysctl debug.kdb.panic=1", which forces a panic,
and see if your scripts run then? Perhaps there's some inconsistency in how
we're entering the debugger. If things still appear not to be happening, try
setting up a kdb.enter.default script and see if that works?
The ddb(4) command provids a slightly more user-friendly way of accessing the
scripts from userspace -- you can just do "ddb scripts" to list them.
FWIW, using the exactly scripts you have below, I produced a textdump without
any problems on 7-STABLE.
Btw, you might wanna update the ddb(8) manpage's History section, as the
feature seems to first appear in 7.1 :)
Indeed. I'll update that, thanks!
