A general rule of thumb when dealing with mutexes: The moment you have to ask the question 'Who owns this mutex?' you have a rather serious problem (which can for the most part, be avoided quite easily). Your mutex_enter/mutex_exit calls should be paired and should always be scoped within the same function. Look at the backtrace of your panic ($C/$c) and identify the function which is causing the fault; the asm offset should give you a reasonable place to start looking.
