I forgot to mention it in my previous mail.
It seems it is, that's why I send my report to
the hackers list, and didn't send any 'real' bug
report.
The kern/9218 decribes a bug in
the {0,3} (sysctl_sysctl_name2oid()). The crash
I experienced was probably in sysctl_sysctl_name().
In fact, the bug may not be located in those
functions, but (perhaps) in an upper level
function (like sysctl_root() or userland_sysctl()).
Reading the code does not help me to find the bug.
