| I get ocasional panics from softdep, already filled a PR about it (but 
| asked fvdl in the meantime to close it, because I couldn't reproduce
| it any more). Now it happened again, source supped from today:

If you can reliably reproduce it, can you try adjusting 
downwards the desiredvnodes multiplier at the beginning of 
gnu/sys/ufs/ffs/ffs_softdep.c:softdep_initialize() 
and see if that causes the problem to go away?
