Take a look at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/kerneldebug.html If you can configure your system to preserve a crash dump and extract from it a backtrace which you then use send-pr(1) to send in, you should find a developer willing to help you. See also Michael Lucas' Big Scary Daemon articles: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/bsd/2002/03/21/Big_Scary_Daemons.html http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/bsd/2002/04/04/Big_Scary_Daemons.html However, crash bugs like this do not appear spontaneously: something in your environment changed to cause the problem. A prime suspect would be hardware failure -- if you have the resources to do so, try swapping out components to see if you can isolate the problem. Don't forget to swap out the simplest parts, like network cables. Another prime suspect would be recent changes made to the configuration of your system or the network it is attached to. Given the nature of the panic, changes to the way routing is done would be a good place to start investigating. (Nb. if it turns out to be a change that someone else made on a machine elsewhere on your network, then reporting the problem to the FreeBSD developers would become imperative: remote crash bugs are very bad news indeed) This topic is best dealt with on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list -- please post any follow up there.
