>Description:
With recent changes to ddb(4) and/or trap handling, there is a lot of
console noise while the ddb(4) 'next' command runs, for example,

db{0}> next 
fatal trace trap in supervisor mode
trap type 5 code 0 eip c0247901 cs c0240008 eflags 392 cr2 bbbb3633 ilevel 6

fatal trace trap in supervisor mode
trap type 5 code 0 eip c024790f cs 8 eflags 396 cr2 bbbb3633 ilevel 6

This disrupts the "flow" of a ddb(4) session.  It also slows
debugging on a 19200-bps serial console.

>How-To-Repeat:
Break to debugger.  Type 'next'.
