 Hi Mark,
 
 thanks for the clarification. 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).
 
 Thanks for the quick reply,
 
 Manuel
