--- Comment #29 from Robert Watson <rwatson@FreeBSD.org> ---
Just a quick comment in light of recent notes on this PR: the panic being s=
een
is as a result of a kernel self-check that occurs on socket close, and like=
ly
reports on a bug that triggered some substantial time earlier (milliseconds,
seconds, minutes, hours, days, or even weeks earlier), and reports on a cla=
ss
of problems rather than detecting a specific bug. It's entirely likely that=
 the
problem reported more recently is not the same bug as those reported previo=
usly
with the same panic message -- rather, a similar bug with the same kernel
self-check detecting it.

In the past, this self-check has most frequently fired as a result of either
bugs in the socket-buffer code (although I think none recently), or
device-driver bugs involving modifications to the mbuf chain after submitti=
ng
the mbuf to the network stack (e.g., due to concurrency bugs in the device
driver). It can also occur in use-after-free scenarios, as a result of prot=
ocol
bugs, etc.

On the whole, my intuition is towards a device-driver bug based on past
experience. Could you paste in the output of "dmesg" and "ifconfig -a" from=
 the
host to give a bit more information on its configuration?
