Bug#184624: reboots unexpectedly after panic

[Robert Millan]

Package: gnumach
Version: 1:20020421-1 (not installed)
Severity: normal

I was running an highly resource consumption process when Mach paniced. The
reason is probably related to bug #82600

But the problem i'm reporting is that Mach unexpectedly rebooted the machine
after panicing. The error message i could read was something similar to:

  panic: kalloc: memory exhausted in zalloc

(it's not exact, as i didn't have time to write it down. there was a number
i ommited and maybe the "zalloc/kalloc" order was reversed)

Mach should realy stop after a panic and let the user read the message,
instead of rebooting.

just in case it helps, my system has 128 MB of RAM and 512 MB of swap.
