If you're going to track -CURRENT, you really should read the -CURRENT
mailing list.  Offhand, I can't see how the system map would be
getting locked in your case, but you're right that it seems to be a
bug in the threading code (DRM *is* likely to be related, since it
constitutes a separate path into "direct" memory manipulation...).
