Do you still experience a panic if you run this script, destroy the
vlans it created, and then try your test again?
I've briefly looked into a race condition with if_grow() and I wonder
if this is the case you're encountering. It will only occur when you
go from e.g. 8->16 or 16->32 ifnets, as the array expands by a factor
of two each time.
