I think this is unrelated.  Maybe something I broke.

I'll go digging through the code later to see I can find the problem.

I think I might understand the reason for the panic that I got last
night.  I think chn_setblocksize() was increasing the buffer size and an
interrupt was serviced during the sndbuf_remalloc() call while the lock
was dropped for the malloc() call.  I thought of a way to fix this and
will crank out a new patch.  I also want to take a closer look at the
parent/child locking relationships.
