Also enable INVARIANTS. While there (with my patch applied) please setup textdump in order to report the following DDB commands (and once it deadlocks break in DDB): bt, show allpcpu, ps, alltrace, show alllocks Try also to get a coredump (and if you can't report immediately to us and try to not turn off the machine in order to apply following instructions).
