With the situation being what you describe, I think I'll try upgrading my sources to the latest RELENG_8_0 ones to be on the safe side, check if the problem persists, and if so, I'll try to find a solution (unless I hear from someone to try something different). Another question springs to mind: If /usr goes across NFS, most traffic arriving at the NFS server should be reading, right? Because that appears to work without a glitch with the fix (at least on my machine). Right now, the panic is pushed back to the point when I try to write (i.e. copy a new file to the NFS server).
