Dear All, 

As per the subject line, I have been experiencing this for the past two
weeks now. 

References: 
http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=222082+0+archive/2002/freebsd-stable/20021027.freebsd-stable

Symptoms: 
When I transfer a large file across the network, either via SMB or scp,
my 4.7-RELEASE will initiate a transfer for around a minute, then
everything will cease. System will crash leaving no core dumps for me to
submit a backtrace. I even have a 700MB file handy whenever I feel the
mood to crash my 4.7-RELEASE. 

As of yesterday, i cvsup'ed to 4.7-RELEASE-p1, and I noticed a variant
of the symptoms. Transferring the 700MB file will still cause a kernel
panic with no core dumps, but upon re-booting when I tried to start my
vmware, the system will crash again. I have the backtrace for this
(submitted below). (The vmware session is whatever my GNOME Desktop can
recover from the previous session. I have to gracefully shut the session
down and re-start it in order to get my vmware to behave as normal. 

NOTE: I am ruling out faulty hardware since I dont get this behaviour if
I re-boot with 4.6.2-RELEASE kernel. I do get some "vmemory usage"
errors, but I guess this is expected when the kernel and the world is
out of sync. Also, the trace below is the same for the the 3 savecore's
i had in my dumpdir. 

I do appreciate it if someone can look over this. 

Thanks
