} Hi,

} I had a crash on a very current system (make world and kernel from

} 0xf017f45f is in ncr_exception() and 0xf0110781 is in tsleep()

Hmm, I had added some debug output code to the 
ncr_exception handler. There might be a NULL 
pointer dereference in some special situation
somewhere, though I wouldn't expect this ...

I'll disable that code again, as soon as I find
time to upload another set of patches (later today).

You can try doing so yourself. Locate the line
containing a string of 'ERROR (' and remove the 
code below the printing of the 'reg:' line
(script instructions and scatter gather table).

(Sorry don't have access to my FreeBSD system,
currently.)

Regards, STefan
