Today I removed DDB and GDB from the kernel, because with it no kernel
dumps were created. To build it, i used -DNO_CLEAN. Can this cause the
kernel to get out of sync with kernel.debug?

Unfortunately no. It is a notebook without serial ports. It has a
IEE1394 Port which could be used with DDB but I don't have a second box
with Firewire.
I also have a new kernel dump which shows gkrellm as current process.
Can it still be a bug in sysctl? current process. Can it still be a bug
in sysctl?
