Not quite the same.  46176 mentions the file system, which is the immediate
cause of the panic.

I fixed the file system (msdosfs) in -current a while ago, and I think
the fix is in RELENG_7 but not RELENG_6.  Forcing the unmount is not
supported, but msdosfs sort of did it anyway, in a bad way that
guaranteed a panic near the end of the forced unmount.  Now the forced
unmount fails instead of panicing.  The file system still keeps retrying
writes forever, so it may clobber new media, or it may be confused
mixing data from new and old media.  Corruption from the former, and
the latter, may cause a panic eventually.
