Indeed, I have this in my DEBUG kernel config:

makeoptions     DEBUG=-g
options INVARIANT_SUPPORT
options INVARIANTS
options WITNESS
options WITNESS_KDB
options KDB
options DDB
options DDB_NUMSYM
options GDB
options BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER


and the deadlock disappears.
Does that already give a hint what's wrong?

If not, then what should I remove/keep from the
above list, to allow the deadlock to reappear and
still be able to debug the problem?

According to your info above, I would say I'd
remove INVARIANT_SUPPORT, INVARIANTS, WITNESS
and WITNESS_KDB; leave the others in there
and try again with such a debug kernel. Right?

Thanks,
Rob.
