Judging by the all-caps, this is probably a kernel message I should be
concerned about...  :)

I'm running i386 on a laptop, -current from last week sometime.  Using
SOFTDEP on all fs'es.  Immediately following the message above, I get
dropped into ddb.  Thus far, I've just been hitting "c," and getting
on with life.  This is probably a bad idea, but I'm at a loss as to
what SPL even stands for...  :)

This seems to be caused by excessive disk activity, like deleting
large directory trees (or registering packages).

Any advice?  I'm quite willing to debug this using ddb or whatever...
I'll post a stack trace RSN.

Chris

P.S.:  I'm about three months behind on reading current-users, so
       please forgive me if this has already been reported.
