 I'm glad you can reproduce the problem. How about helping us
 reproduce it too? Can you gives the results of mount, kldstat, dmesg
 and your kernel configuration file? Do you have any estimate on how
 long it takes to panic? Is your box doing anything else in
 background? Is it connected to the network?
