>Description:

	i got the following when entering ddb from serial console.

	i don't think it's desirable for ddb to rely on high-level
	kernel services like malloc.


	Stopped in pid 0.2 (system) at  netbsd:cpu_Debugger+0x5:        leave
	panic: assert_sleepable: idle

>How-To-Repeat:
	
>Fix:
	don't use malloc.
