On further reflection, here is more info which might be usefult to know: 

1) I recently updated to 4.8 RELEASE.  I just looked at the kernel config 
file and noted that I removed the "options VINUMDEBUG" a while ago.  This 
might explain frames 13 through 15 in the crash dump being ?? .  Help me out 
here please... 

2) When upgrading I noted that the source for vinum had been changed in a 
similar way to the patches I received from Greg Lehey and applied in August 
2002, so I did NOT apply the patches again.  Perhaps I should have? 

3) I also recently began using 'gre' devices for some VPN tunnels.  This is 
new in 4.8.  I find it odd (in hindsight) that these are working OK thought 
the "pseudo-device gre" line is absent from my kernel config file ??? 

FYI: kldstat is at http://docs.perimeter.co.za/crash/2003-06/kldstat

Patrick.
