Actually, it can't be if softclock() is called directly from ithread_loop().  
In the new code ithread_loop() calls ithread_execute_handlers() which would 
call softclock().

This looks like a page fault rather than a 'kmem_map too small' panic.

This is here:
		while (c) {
			depth++;
		==>	if (c->c_time != curticks) {
				c = TAILQ_NEXT(c, c_links.tqe);

c can't be NULL due to the while loop.  Are any kernel modules being unloaded 
when this happens?
