I don't have the exact IP address involved, but we experienced consistent panics in two heavily loaded mail servers (same hardware models, Dell Powereedge) runnning Postfix and FreeBSD 6.2. Suspecting an issue with the IP stack and smp I tried to set "debug.mpsafenet=0" and the problems are gone. Of course I've lost some performance, but the systems have been solid for some weeks so far.

What number is the PR with the details?

Sorry, I couldn't diagnose anything properly. When it happened the sysadmin didn't give me the panic details, and being production machines the main priority was to put them back into service as soon as possible.

Would it be a good idea to file a PR with such fuzzy information? I don't think so, that's why I didn't do it. Of course I can do it if someone thinks it's worth. But unfortunately I cannot get more precise details.

No it isn't. You will need to do some more work to obtain this information, otherwise your bug will probably not be fixed. debug.mpsafenet=0 is no longer an option in 7.0, so you will have to deal with this sooner or later.
