 Actually, just a stack trace of tid 100053/pid 516 should be sufficient.  This 
 is the second report I've had of a panic along these lines relating to ppp, 
 and it seems likely to me that the fixes to routing locking have introduced an 
 edge case where the routing code sleeps allocating or waiting for a route 
 while holding a lock where it didn't happen previously.  If we can work out 
 the stack trace leading to the sleep, we can probably fix this in short order.
