In the course of looking at Jeremy's reponse to my query about a mystery
panic, I noted his recommendation that PRINTF_BUFR_SIZE be set to 256.
Ever-obedient, I went to set the value, and discovered instead that the
conf file already has it set to 4096.
As he says below, there are concerns about setting the value too high
causing "major issues".
I being Christmas and all I hate to ask Jeremy to dig up the post he
mentioned, but wonder if anyone can clue me in on what the major issues
might be?
Thanks, and regards
Charlie Martin

Also, be aware that the above stack trace is interspersed. Ultimately
you get to clean up the output yourself. This is a long-standing
problem with FreeBSD which can be helped but only slightly/barely by
using "options PRINTF_BUFR_SIZE=256" in your kernel configuration (the
default configs have a value of 128. Do not increase the value too
high, there are concerns about it causing major issues; I can dig up the
post that says that, but I'd rather not).
