This is really a terrific list. I should have checked the archives first,
but no one flamed me for my question. Thanks, folks.

I'll summarize briefly, for any newcomers. The problem occurs when the
KDEBUG option is enabled when you build the kernel. There are two options:
1. Rebuild the kernel without KDEBUG enabled.
2. Modify the kernel. As root:
# dbx -k /vmunix
(dbg) assign db_enable = 0
This modifies the kernel in memory. Modify the disk file:
# dbx /vmunix
(dbg) patch db_enable = 0
This will remain "stable" until the next kernel rebuild.
Mike Iglesias mentioned that Digital had a patch, OSF410-046, but I haven't
had a chance to chase it down yet.
Thanks again to all.
