 Please clarify what you mean by "home compiled GENERIC"?  Do you
 change anything there?  Have you changed anything in /boot/loader.conf
 or /etc/sysctl.conf?

 While we definitly have some problems in pmap(9) code in 7.0 aka HEAD
 I can't reproduce the problem on RELENG_6 system.
 
 Please try to obtain a backtrace from the kernel core file or ddb.
