Go into DDB. Do 'panic'. wait for the kernel to finish dumping core.
Once system reboots and saves kernel core, examine process state in
the core file with gdb. Obviously it's a postmortem examination which
may not be exactly what you want.

Less destructive option would be to do 'ps' or 'show threads' in DDB,
save its output and then continue.
