Hi Christoph,

I looked up pfr_update_stats in
http://fxr.watson.org/fxr/ident?v=FREEBSD9 and then had a look at the
upstream SVN log for the source file.

I think I got lucky.  I notice this recent fix to initialise a variable
used in that function, so this is probably it:

http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&sortby=rev&sortdir=down&revision=236364

This bugfix was accepted in 9.1-RC1 but hopefully we can apply it to 9.0.


If somehow it turns out to be a different problem, it would be worth
recompiling with makeoptions DEBUG="-g" in the kernel config.  That
seems to avoid inlining of functions and results in a fuller backtrace
on panic.  While there, perhaps enable options DDB and GDB, but I don't
really know yet how to find out anything useful with them.
