Using dbx to panic kernel

It seems to be quite simple to panic Ultrix 4.1 on a DEC station 5000
using dbx.

Dbx a process that does an accept(). While your process is blocked on
the accept() call, type ^C to terminate the process. Dbx responds
telling you your process has terminated, now quit dbx. Voila, panic.

This may be something peculiar to our system, but over the course of
the last few days we have done this 5 or 6 times with consistant
results.
