Hi,

Doesn't anyone know if this fix will make it into 9.3 RELEASE?
IMO it would probably be worth making a point release for this fix if not.
A 9.3.1, and perhaps a 10.0.1 or something like that.

As said a lot of these boards are being sold, and many end up in home
servers that run FreeBSD.
I have noticed there are occasional mails about this problem in the list
already, and I suspect there are many others trying FreeBSD, FreeNAS etc
that run into this kernel panic and then just decide to try something else.
