Does your kernel have DDB enabled? is ddb.onpanic nonzero?
The lockup could be due to dropping into the kernel debugger.
Unfortunatley, DDB doesn't know how to take the display out of
graphics mode, so dropping into DDB when X is running leads to an
apparent lockup of the machine..
if you set ddb.onpanic = 0 you should get a crash dump instead of a
lockup..
