I have reported a panic in the fs code that takes on different aspects 
depending on whether or not the rellocation code is active. It triggers both 
with and without softupdates. The pr for this bugreport is kern/16740. No 
response to it yet, discounting the persons bitten by this bug who mails me to 
ask if there is a fix for the problem. There is someone who claims to have a 
test the reliably can reproduce the bug on a "range of hardware" (his words). 
If there is an interest in the test (i don't have it) i  will forward the 
emailaddress to the person having it privately.
