Yes, this has been fixed.  Python was using MAP_ANON|MAP_NOSYNC
    mmap()'s and this resulted in the possibility of msync() encountering
    an optimized vm_map_entry that did not yet have a VM object associated
    with it, causing a panic.

    Both -stable and -current have been fixed to handle the case.  
    -current was fixed on March 7th, and -stable on March 8th.

                                                -Matt
