I discovered that failed login attempts at the console that leave a character at the Login: prompt without a carriage return will cause the panic. For instance, a child comes by and types "kkwl" at the console, then leaves. The system will eventually panic and require rebooting. This does not seem to happen if the carriage return is pressed last. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
