Well, if you need more data from me, I'm willing to send them. The panic
is easily reproduceable (it just happens after an hour of uptime).

OK. I'm not sure if I'm doing that the right way, but here it is:

Hope this helps.

It's also worth noting that on the previous kernel (that is: FreeBSD
5.3-BETA2 (SIN) #9: Sun Aug 29 14:24:19 CEST 2004) nothing like that
happened, so it appears to be somehow related to (or uncovered by) some
very recent commit.

The hint here would be that after I got the ddb prompt I tried to scroll
up some lines (scroll lock + page up) and then the (second) panic
occured.
