With about 80 turns without a panic I think it was great coincidence that I'd 
encountered this panic. ;-)

BTW, side result: 128M for kern.maxswzone is enough for filling tmpfs to 100% 
under amd64 with 4G RAM + 8G swap.

Also, I can observe tmpfs is doing non-optimal; I did not found straight ways 
to set block/frag size; I suppose for most tmpfs usage they should be decreases 
to the lowest values, such as 4k/512 -- what do you think?

Thanks!
