You might have to type 'panic' twice these days. Alternatively, 'call
doadump' usually did the trick for me.

Had an 'out of swap' error tonight, and would have liked to have been
able to run a ps after the reboot to see if I could identify an 'out of
control' process using up all the RAM (6G of RAM, 8G of swap) :(

DDB has a ps of it's own - I'm not sure how helpful it is for your
specific problem, though.
