>Description:
In -current and -stable, mountmsdosfs()@ msdosfs_vfsops.c doesn't not check if pm_nxtfree exceeds the max cluster in the file system. So if a corrupted msdos filesystem(which is not uncommon) is written, the following code in updatefats()@msdosfs_fat.c will generate a panic. 

	u_long cn = pmp->pm_nxtfree;

	if (pmp->pm_freeclustercount
	    && (pmp->pm_inusemap[cn / N_INUSEBITS]
        	& (1 << (cn % N_INUSEBITS)))) { .... }

>How-To-Repeat:
Mount a corrupted msdos filesystem(e.g. not probably shutdown) and write to it.
>Fix:
Apply the following patch to test if next free cluster exceeds the max cluster in mountmsdosfs().
