Yes, I think it would make sense to change KSTACK_PAGES to the default value.
But, OTOH, if you can afford to have DDB in a few more machines, then it would 
be
interesting to compare behavior with different stack sizes.

BTW, if you don't want your machines to sit at ddb prompt after panic, then 
you'd
also need either KDB_UNATTENDED option or set debug.debugger_on_panic=0.
