--- Comment #6 from Richard Scheffenegger <rscheff@freebsd.org> ---
It turned out that only under a specific set of circumstances - RTO during a
SACK loss recovery, while the client had not yet fully reported back all SA=
CK
blocks - a unnecessary initialization of sack_bytes_rexmit caused this pani=
c.=20

In mundane environments this was virtually not reproduceable, and even in
exposed environments, tcp sessions apparently need to suffer from sudden RTT
jumps / path changes to elicit the panic.

Thanks to rrs@ and gallatin@ for helping by providing crucial timing and pa=
cket
trace/tcp state information around a few occurances.
