We get the same type of panic on BSD/OS 4.2 as well (malloc after nat_new). The setup
is quite similar to Greg's, i.e. only BIMAP for around 100 hosts. Our box isn't as
regular though, it can stay up for a week or crash three times the same day.
As BSD/OS 4.2 doesn't implement device polling, my impression is that this feature
ought at most to be a contributing factor rather than the root cause of our problem.
