Start at unlink, and look at the arguments all the way down to see
if they are reasonable.
When you find an unreasonable argument, go up one function, and look at
the contents of the auto variables. See if they are corrupted.
Personally, I am not happy with the vnode/free block management in
FreeBSD, but there's nothing I can do about it to make it more
deterministic. I'm pretty sure that the race windows have been
nailed closed by increased complexity, so it's probably something
else.
