Hi,

I reported this before, but I am very surprised that it is still the  
case:

(This is from the last time it happened; this time the box rebooted  
and cleared the serial console before I had time to cut/paste it.
> Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
> cpuid = 1; apic id = 00
> fault virtual address   = 0x1c
> fault code              = supervisor write, page not present
> instruction pointer     = 0x8:0xc0620b5f

The above panic will show up occasionally when logging out from a  
serial console (i.e. ctrl-D, logout, exit, whatever). This is  
EXTREMELY BAD, as it will crash an otherwise perfectly healthy box at  
random - and renders the serial console useless.

Robert Watson confirmed this to be an issue on the 10th of April.

Anyone??
