FWIW, I've seen it a few more times on two different machines. Both running 
semi-new FreeBSD (I still don't think I ever saw this on earlier CURRENT:s).

In the case of both machines, the machine is only selectively hung. Possibly 
limited to the zfs file system - definitely not global to the pool. A remote 
reboot -q -n has been useful to recover without console access.

In both of these cases, more or less all activity of any amount is on ZFS file 
systems. One of them has only ZFS except for swap on a UFS file system. The 
other has root on UFS, but no bulk operations whatsoever happening (beyond 
the usual periodics) except on ZFS.

No NFS on either machine.
