Well, for reference it works in my i386 Thinkpad using a bge(4) 
interface.

Shame.

I would venture to guess that netinet6/mld6.c:872 fails to check that 
malloc fails, but your panic happens deeper in so in this case a check 
would not help.
At this point I guess I'll have to ask for help as I don't fully 
understand how the locking works nor how malloc here would cause a 
panic, especially as I cannot replicate it on a my bge(4) interface.
