I'd been very stable on 5.3-stable on AMD64, unless I was using gdb, in
which case I would get reboots pretty regularly as of a couple of months
ago.  Never managed to reproduce that in console, but didn't try too
hard.  However, I just updated to 6-current, and within 5 minutes got a
reboot.

Note that there has been some discussion that panicing while in X may
equal reboot these days, though I don't understand why that would be.
