Hi all,
The kernel I've made with 'mtx_assert(&Giant, MA_OWNED);' in all tty functions
works fine. I'm not able to crash it yet, even under 24 hour load.

I Agree. This backout doesn't solve this panic here. I got this panic on FreeBSD
5.3 RELEASE and 5.4 RELEASE too. Exactly the same trace. And revision 1.272
never made it into RELENG_5.
