>Description:
A different crash in mi_switch() (different from the other two reports
I sent in). This machine was different in that it did _NOT_ have a
BusLogic controller.
Here's the traceback:

panic: trap
#0 0xf810da51 in mi_switch ()
(kgdb) where
#0 0xf810da51 in mi_switch ()
#1 0xf810d5dd in tsleep ()
#2 0xf8178459 in thread_sleep ()
#3 0xf817821e in scheduler ()
#4 0xf8105cce in main ()
(kgdb) print curproc
$1 = 0
(kgdb)
I also put a check into the mi_switch() function in our kernels (just
above the line:
microtime(&tv);
And the kernel did _NOT_ crash on that panic, but in trap as indicated
in the kgdb output above.
As before, if you want the core dump I'll send it along.
