I have a box running 9.0-RELEASE where I'm seeing a panic happen every
5-7 days. For the record, it's moving about 80-100 mbit/s of network
traffic and has several gre tunnels setup. The box has panic'd many
times, but due to unrelated (serial port) issues, I've only been able to
get a complete panic once.
I took a look at the core and did some basic debugging:

Sorry for the bad formatting there, but it seems like ifa->ifa_ifp is
null. For the record, net-snmpd is being polled ever
