By "something peculiar to your operational situation" did you mean
it's not a bug, or did you mean it might be a bug triggered only
in unusual circumstances?

I recenetly installed FreeBSD 3.4-STABLE at a customer site where they are
using hardware that I am completely unfamiliar with.  (I.e., none of my
usual buying practices would have affected what they bought.)  Also that
machine is IDE only, while all of my machines use SCSI disks (sometimes
also having lightly loaded IDE disks). After a few days of being up with
softupdates active, the machine crashed once, and the panic messages
seemed to be very similar to the ones that I have seen.  The only
activities on the machine were to do cvsup then make buildworld then make
installworld, and to build some ports.
