I've been trying to recreate these panics w/o luck and reports so far have not pvoded me with enough info to work up any real clues. I've got one vmcore for something potentially similar and was about to look at it. The problem appears to be caused by someone reclaming routing table entries while they are in use. This would likely be a reference counting problem. You didn't provide any information about system kernel config or hardware config. Both are important. You don't indicate when "last sunday" is; is that 11/02? Did you get my recent commit to in_rmx.c that was last night and fixed a reference counting problem (but which would probably not affect you)? Are you running with WITNESS and INVARIANT? If not, do so. Have you tried to identify something that makes the panic happen? (e.g. ping as opposed to using ssh, as opposed to NFS over UDP, etc.) Have you tried setting debug.mpsafenet=0? Sam
