Hello,
     Thank you very much for all of the help.  I am trying to understand
this issue, as it has been plaguing me for quite some time.
     So, extrapolating from the below kgdb output, am I to assume that
the process causing the error is tcpserver?  And should I further infer
that tcpserver would cause this issue on all instances of FreeBSD
RELENG_6, regardless of hardware?
     I have three other servers HP Proliant DL380s (2u) which are
operating in a _similar_ capacity, (incoming vs. outgoing mailservers)
running the exact same software, which have never had a problem.
     These three servers are running: FreeBSD unix29 6.1-PRERELEASE
FreeBSD 6.1-PRERELEASE #0: Mon Mar 27 10:42:56 EST 2006
root@unix34.broadviewnet.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/UNIX34 i386

     The operating system on this machine was rsync'd from one of the
servers that is having the panic issue, yet it continues to operate
flawlessly.
     I guess I could try swapping the services between two of the
servers and see if the behavior follows the move.  Does that sound
viable?

Thank you very much,
Ernest
