I've had 3 panics when doing a 'w', it'd print the uptime line and the
info lines and panic just before displayig the first user.

We enabled PANICWAIT and got this message (If it means something)

------------------------------------------------------------------------
VM fault (fe11e000, fe852000, 1, 0) -> 1
	type c, code fe000000
trap type 12 code fe000000 eip = fe008ed0 cs=fe2d0008 eflags
10285 cr2 fe85200c cpl 0
panic: trap
------------------------------------------------------------------------

We also have 'savecore' in the 'rc' file but it's not doing anything.

Somehelp on this would be appreciated?
