Hi Tammy,

Unfortunately, you're in good company with that panic.  I've seen that
since at least February on my PowerBook, but haven't made the time to
track it down (11-CURRENT from mid-October 2015 worked fine).  On the
bright side, though, 12-CURRENT as of October 31 works fine on my
PowerBook.  I still don't have the time to bisect and track down the
cause of the problem or the fix, but if you feel like bisecting and
trying to find the snapshot that fixes the problem, that could help
narrow down where it got fixed, and a fix could be backported to
11-STABLE.
