I've been running for the best part of a day now with softupdates turned
off and so far no panics. I'm running tinderbox on the host, and it
would quite reliably crash it before.

Of course it's hard to say if this has fixed the problem... maybe it
doesn't happen as often, or maybe my data is being slowly chewed up
instead ;-)
