This is running without Giant over most of the network stack.  However,
I'm still working on tracking down the source of the problem -- I'm
beginning to wonder if it's not an existing race opened up by releasing
locks in areas where only memory allocations required sleeping would have
opened the race previously.  I got this panic during local UNIX domain
socket IPC between the sshd bits.  I suspect what's going on, but need to
look in more detail, is that something is messed up relating to control
mbufs -- I.e., ancillary data transfer.  If you're interested in taking a
look at the current work-in-progress, take a look at the rwatson_netperf
branch in perforce, or at:

  http://www.watson.org/~robert/freebsd/netperf/

I can also add you to the CC list for new patch versions if you like.
Pretty shortly, I'll be sending them to arch@ instead, but I need to
resolve a few problems in socket locking (including this one).
