 You're not really giving anyone much to work with here.
 
 While I'll almost certainly not be able to fix this for you, I can tell
 you that if I were the guy who _could_ fix it, I wouldn't find this PR
 very attractive, given the amount of information on it. :-)
 
 If you're not in a position to provide a backtrace of the panic with
 debugging symbols as per http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/kerneldebug.html
 then perhaps you could copy down the interesting probe messages and the
 kernel panic message by hand.
 
 Ciao,
 Sheldon.
