I have a machine that has two different interfaces (xl for the external
and fxp for the LAN).  After rebuilding the kernel after 8/9/02, I
experienced kernel panic -- but only as as result of passing data
through the fxp interface.  It stayed stable until I ssh'ed into the
router, which caused almost immediate panic.  No connections (that were
automatically opened by startup scripts) to the outside world via xl
caused this problem.  

This is consistent with the idea that the fxp
driver is borked somehow.  The revision date in the CVS tag seems to
support this.

 * $FreeBSD: src/sys/dev/fxp/if_fxp.c,v 1.110.2.24 2002/08/09 02:04:20 luigi Exp $

Just my observerations, it may be incorrect.  I haven't tested the
patch referenced, I'm wary of more downtime.
