6.2-RC2 panic - NFS client

Hi all,

Just killed what had been a fairly stable 6.2-RC2 box with NFS.

I have four boxes that run spamd (spamassassin spamd, not pf spamd). 
Since they are all now in sync and running 6.2-RC2, I set one up as an NFS 
server to make updates across all four boxes easier.  I got a little bit 
ahead of myself and was running a 'pkgdb -F' on both the server and one of 
the clients.  The process on the server just errored out and exited.  The 
client spit this out and then paniced:

database file error
[Updating the portsdb <format:bdb_btree> in /usr/ports ... - 14186 port

Connection to spamd2 closed.

I have the kernel dump, but have two problems getting more info:

-I had just clobbered /usr/obj to make some room, not realizing that's 
where the kernel.debug ends up (why is it in there?).

-I can't find the current "how to provide a useful panic report" document 
in the handbook that I use for reference.

I can probably make this thing crash again if there's any interest.

Thanks,

Charles
