Thank you - unfortunately, I'm unsure as to what use a DDB prompt would
be to me.

I'm not a driver/kernel developer, nor do I know C, nor can the box
spare the downtime in the event of this situation occurring again.

Further more, since the box continues to run, and isn't a true "hang" in
the sense of the word, thousands of instructions will have run after the
true cause of the problem, making debugging even harder (presumably - as
I say I'm no developer!)
