Nope, unfortunately, I don't. Am I right that I should also read
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/developers-handbook/kerneldebug.html ?

Does this mean that it wasn't a kernel panic at all? Or isn't there
something worth noticing because I don't have dumpdev configured?

I'm afraid that I can't remember another change that I made to the jail
that caused it to crash. But, up to now, the only thing I can remember I
did was upgrading net/syncthing.

I definitely want to further investigate the problem and keep everyone
updated about it. It's just that I need some help to do that, so your
reply is very much appreciated. I'm definitely not a free rider. ;-)

So far, I haven't started the jail again since it has continuously
broken my system. (I'm scared.) I will configure dumpdev first and after
that I'll start the jail. I'll keep you updated.
