Here's the patch of what I found was left un-MFCed: http://people.freebsd.org/~bz/20090405-mfc-r182841-r182842.diff According to your gdb output you are not getting to sbsndptr() with an invalid length so it's less likely to hit the KASSERT(). It would be interesting to see if at least the sbsndptr() patch works and gives you the panic. In that case I'd finally have a positive confirmation that those changes are right and MFC them;-) The ways I had found to hit this had been fixed a year ago and properly MFCed. This one sounds more like a race and other memory problem. What kind of patch are you testing? /bz -- Bjoern A. Zeeb The greatest risk is not taking one.
