Thanks for testing the patch -- it looks like there's a more pressing
logical problem in this code! Could you try the following simpler patch:

The IP option code seems not to know that (in RELENG_6 and before) the pcb
is discarded on disconnect, and the application is querying the TTL after a
disconnect. In FreeBSD 7.x, the pcb is preserved after disconnect so this
succeeds.
I'm running with the patch applied for 3 days straight and the machine
didn't crash once. Please, consider merging it to RELENG_6.
I have committed this as ip_output.c:1.242.2.9 in the RELENG_6 branch, and
will also merge to RELENG_5 in a few days. Assuming this settles well, I'll
talk to the RE team about doing an errata patch for this in the RELENG_6_1
branch.
Thanks!
