I have a NetBSD 1.6 based system that randomly locks-up/hangs
(as though a thread had indefinitely disabled interrupts).

Eventually, our H/W based watchdog resets the CPU, and the system 
reboots
but without saving the kernel core (since the normal panic path wasn't 
executed).

Are there any debugging techniques that can be used to capture the 
state of the
system when such a lock-up occurs?
One idea is to reconfigure the H/W watchdog to instead generate a NMI 
to the processor;
the NMI handler could then capture system state prior to resetting the 
CPU.

Thanks for your help,
Dave

c.  The statistics you want are gathered globally, not per interface.

For me, it prints out the same thing as

netstat -p tcp

This makes sense, given how the statistics are kept, but a) I can't
see how that matches your notion of intended and b) is a bug; using -I
with -p should give an error, since it doesn't print what might
reasonably be expected.
