Unfortunately both of these are not high quality PR submissions, which is probably why no action has been taken yet. At least in the first one you give a "how to repeat" that I was able to follow, but in general when you encounter a panic you should be providing the backtrace and/or other debugging information requested here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/kerneldebug.html The second PR is basically null as written since it cannot be reproduced and no debugging information was submitted. If you are interested in proceeding with it, please reproduce and obtain the necessary kernel debugging. Otherwise we should close it. Does the patch I sent you solve the first problem? Kris
