Jim's original report seemed to indicate that the filesystem paniced
    on mount even after repeated fsck's.

    That implies that Jim has a filesystem image that panics on mount. 
    Maybe Jim can make that image available and a few people can see if
    downloading and mounting it reproduces the problem.  It would narrow
    things down anyhow.

    Also, I didn't see a system backtrace anywhere.  If it paniced, where
    did it panic?

    The first thing that came to my mind was the dirhash code, but simply
    mounting a filesystem doesn't scan the mount point directory at all,
    except possibly for '.' or '..'... I don't think it even does that.  All
    it does is resolve the root inode of the filesystem.  The code path
    for mounting a UFS or UFS2 filesystem is very short.

                                                -Matt
