heartbeat panic: swapping?

[Thomas Klausner <wiz%netbsd.org@localhost>]

Hi!

I woke up to

savecore: reboot after panic: [ 312649.0082489] panic: cpu0: softints stuck for 16 seconds

(gdb) target kvm netbsd.27.core
0xffffffff80239eca in cpu_reboot (howto=howto@entry=260, bootstr=bootstr@entry=0x0) at /usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/amd64/machdep.c:709
709			dumpsys();
(gdb) bt

and since I had been putting pressure on the system to use much swap,
and this was the result, I was wondering if there might be a relation.

I'm bulk building in tmpfs, and at times when there are a lot of
pkg_add/pkg_delete and the system kind of hangs already (which would
be nice to avoid). Can this be related?

Anyway, core dump available if someone has ideas what to check.
