The link is slightly broken, I've found the patch here:

http://www.watson.org/~robert/freebsd/20061230-tcp_pcb_fix.diff

Applied, recompiled the kernel - no more panic :)

P.S. out of curiosity - now that I have configured kernel with DDB and
KDB options, is there any performance penalty of running such kernel?
