If it ever happens again, you can drop to the debugger with

Hm, I tried this on a 6.1 GENERIC box just now, ctrl-alt-esc doesnt
seem to give me any debugger... I suppose I have to recompile with
DDB for this? Is this recommended for servers where I normally dont
need DDB?

Right; DDB isn't in GENERIC.  The problem with not including DDB on
servers you don't think you'll need it on is:  the one time you need
it, it's not there :)

Very true.. ;) But are there any reasons NOT to have it on my servers?
