 An application should not cause a kernel panic if it only uses
 the system calls documented in section 2 or the library functions
 documented in section 3 of the manual.  I highly doubt that the Diablo
 developers are meddling with kernel structures directly, therefore
 it is indeed a FreeBSD problem if a kernel panic occurs.
 
 G'luck,
