 Well - I'd have to say that this is exactly the type of 
panic I have experienced with 2.1.0, 2.1.5 and 2.1.5-STABLE.

 Interestingly enough, my recently installed 2.1.6.1  hasn't (yet)
experienced it.

 I've been trying to determine a consistent reproduction; if you
can accomplish this - I'm sure it would go a long way toward
fixing this problem.

 I've been working in ffs_alloc.c - it's not at all obvious to
me that the problem is there.  I'm not discounting it; but several
read-throughs of the code haven't found it.
