Do you indeed posses VIA CPU ?  Was it due to some violence act ?

I am not sure about the first panic, lets fix the malloc/free corruption
and see. The proc_reap() issue might be a consequence of the memory
corruption from the wrong free().

There is no public documentation for VIA CPUs, at least I was not
able to find anything when I looked. According to the comment in the
update_via(), all what is needed is that update buffer was 4-bytes
aligned, which is always guaranteed by our malloc(9), at least for the
allocation of size >=4.

Try this.
