I regularly get the following panic when shutting down the system
(1.4R, not yet tested with 1.4S) with softdeps enabled (As of this
time I use softdeps only on non-critical file systems, But I'm quite
impressed with its performance :) ):

This happens after syncinc the disks, so fsck does not find any
inconsistencies at bootup, it just takes some minutes more than I
like.

  syncing disks... 6 5 done
  panic: insmntque into dying filesystem
