is rebooting after a page fault disabled in 5.3-release?

As another side note, is there a reason that 5.3 doesn't reboot after page
faults?  The crash and dumpdev man pages still indicate that it should.
This makes this problem hard to work on (must be at facility to debug..)
 
Or is there a new/undocumented configuration option?
