After upgrading to 5-STABLE (about Aug 6), it works very good. With mpsafenet=1, it can work more than one day without panic. For 5.4-p5, it will panic at most half day or so. This bug seems fixed after 5.4 is released. I'll keep watching this machine. Will let you know if it still have similar panics ;-)

If you can confirm that the problem really is fixed in -STABLE, there are two sets of changes that may be relevant:

- There are a number of SACK-related bug fixes in RELENG_5 that are not in
  the RELENG_5_4 branch.

- There are a number of TCP/inpcb-related locking fixes (one in particular
  for IPv6) that are in RELENG_5 but not RELENG_5_4.

We can then try and figure out which change it is that's helping, and get that merged to RELENG_5_4 as an errata item. If you have IPv6 traffic, there are some fixes I made a month or two ago that might be particularly relevant during connection tear-down.
