Excellent!!! Another disk (filesystem) saved...  This is only
panicing under a very very evil situation.  It was never
checked before.

I am evaluating the problems, and you can go ahead and define it as
such until it is really fixed.  There are kernel virtual address
space limitations, and it is a bad idea to blindly us lots of
KVA space.  If you are not running on a big server, it will work
for you to bump it up.

I will *probably* get to it this weekend.
