Note that ddb.onpanic will _not_ keep you from falling into DDB
(either in 1.4.x or -current) if you get a fatal kernel trap.

(That's a bug.  8-)

I suggest compiling DDB out of your kernel entirely.  If you use X on
a regular basis, unless you happen to croak when X isn't started it's
just not going to help you at all.
