Normally, KDB will be invoked first, and then when you exit KDB,
the system should panic. They were intended (at least they were
two years ago) to be daisy chained, one after the other. The
only issue is making sure KDB leaves the system in a decent state
so a system crash can occur.
There should be no issue in ordering, unless Keith changed something
in how KDB is invoked.
