| There are a few fixes in the 4.0B patch kit that look like they might apply.
I'll still try to find out more about a specific patch.
In the mean time, there are a couple of ways to work around the problem:
1. Remove options KDEBUG from the config file and rebuild/reboot
2. ladebug -k /vmunix and patch db_enable = 0

| I think that there are at least two problems that can crash your
system using ladebug or any debugger at V4.0B. One is the problem
with the integrated debugger in the kernel and only shows up when
you build your kernel with KDEBUG support.
This is fixed by patch OSF410-046 (New id 26-00) to V4.0B
There's a place on the web to pick up patches, but I haven't
been able to figure out just how to match the above id with what
I see on the web page.
The other problem, which I haven't seen myself, may not have a
patch (or a fix) just yet. It may only show up under the -ptrace
interface (unless that one is a THIRD problem).

| I think this might be the more general problem and patch. And it should
already be fixed in PTmin and Steel.

PROBLEM: (QAR 51380, QAR 51698, QAR 50184) (Patch ID: OSF410-053)
********
This patch fixes several debugger problems:
o This patch fixes a problem with the ikdebug debugger in which the
system panics with the following message:
panic: simple_lock: time limit exceeded
This problem can occur whenever any exception is encountered while
running the debugger.
o This patch fixes a problem in which an AlphaStation 600 as well as
other systems may crash when user mode debuggers are in use (for
example, dbx or ladebug).
This crash occurs because of a misplaced call to the console SAVETERM
and only happens if the console variable CONSOLE is set to GRAPHICS.

| This is the updated blurb that is going in our next release notes.
This blurb reflects reality better ...
o There is a problem with using any version of ladebug (or dbx) on
certain systems that are running Digital UNIX 4.0B. The problem
is that some systems will hang or crash when the debugger is used.
The machines affected are the newer machines, such as the
AlphaStation 500 and 600 series machines. This is not a problem
for other machines such as DEC 3000s and DEC 4000s.
A kernel patch is required to fix this problem. From the 4.0B
patch kit, install the following patch:
NEW PatchID: 91.00
PATCH ID: OSF410-053 SUBSET(s): OSFBIN410
When using setld to install the 4.0B patch kit, look for the new
PatchID in the subset menu display to select the correct patch.
The patch description is: "Patch: Kernal Debugger Corrections".
You can get the 4.0B patch kit from this web page:
