So, I setup a remote kbgd session, but I still can't figure out how
to get at the information we need.

(kgdb) proc 5176
only supported for core file target

In the mean time, I'll just force it to make a core dump from ddb.
However, I can't reacreate the issue while the mirror (gmirror) is
rebuilding, so we'll have to wait for that to finish.
