Hello Jeremy

Some other idea, which versions of FreeBSD/amd64 are affected? 
Only 8-CURRENT, or also 6.x- and/or 7.x-RELEASE?

As far as I have seen from the reports, it does only happen with 
more then 3.5 GB RAM and with SCSI disks.

I do have a system with FreeBSD/amd64 6.3-RELEASE with 4 GB RAM 
and an Adaptec 29160 Ultra160 SCSI adapter (ahc) with only a tape 
drive connected. The disks are on an Areca RAID controller. Access 
to the disks and the tape drive does work just fine without any 
crashes.
