I have never ever had a single problem caused by running RELENG_N.
We changed that only because as the number of machines increases
it pays to run the same software on all of them, and "RELEASE"
provides a convenient (!)

FWIW you can find the core dump here:

You need to obtain the backtrace, see the developers handbook.

Aha,
I just checked the link you have reported.
It looks like the problem is present only on SMP machines with both
ULE and 4BSD scheduler.
I can confirm that the problem is also present on 6.3-Stable.
Basically, it freezes before collecting dump and before being able to

Y'know, I've been sort of skimming this thread, and I think a
