I'm not sure I can do this at all, and certainly, not this weekend. If
anyone already has a serial console set up, the problem should not be
difficult to reproduce in the following easy steps:
1) On a fresh 6.0-BETAX, install the audio/timidity++ port and try
gdb timidity
2) Once in the debugger, run the program to play your favorite tune, such
as on downloaded from:
http://www.fortunecity.com/tinpan/vanishing/189/themes/PinkPanther.mid
(gdb) r /tmp/PinkPanther.mid
3) Interrupt the play by pressing Ctrl-C.
4) Try exiting the debugger... *BOOM*.
To save time, be sure to either unmount your filesystems or remount them
read-only. Thanks!
