 Thank you for the clarification.  I notice that the panic
 happens when numvnodes becomes more than about 185000.
 When kern.maxvnodes=130000 (198799 by default) is specified,
 the system works fine under heavy loads during this week.

 Is anyone else suffering from it?  If it happens on all of >2GB
 systems, I think it should be solved (or described in relnotes)
 before the release.
