I also get these and I figured they're as good an excuse as any to jump
into the kernel code :-} This particular one (and others related to the
setuid/gid family of functions) occur because some time after PROC_LOCK
is called in set{uid,euid} and further down the call stack uidfind()
allocates some memory specifying the M_WAITOK flag.

Is the solution to this to use M_NOWAIT and continue re-trying untill it
succeeds? Is there on-going smp work in locking down struct proc that
will eliminate this problem?

Cheers,
