Bug in panic() in sys/prf.c
       Unless I'm missing something very obvious, the exprs are backwards
       in the conditional statement which determines whether or not this
       is the second call to panic (in order to avoid the sync).  Thus a
       sync is never done in "normal" panics.  [Not sure that's such a bad
       thing though!]

To reproduce:
       Known from code perusal only.

Know fix:
1c1
/*     prf.c   4.18.1   82/02/18       */
173c173
       int bootopt = panicstr ? RB_AUTOBOOT|RB_NOSYNC : RB_AUTOBOOT;
