You are right: it is kernel panic. Accroding to ddb(4): "ddb is invoked upon a kernel panic when the sysctl(8) ddb.panic is set to 1." I am not sure, but I believe you can disable it and get kernel panic message on console instead of ddb by disabling this option in "/etc/sysctl.conf" and reboot But even with ddb you can get some useful information to report to bugs@. See https://www.openbsd.org/ddb.html I think "traceback" and "show panic" could be useful
