>Description:
	When a symbolic-link exists, kernel panics by using mkdir()
	system-call to make a directory which has the same path-name
	as the symbolic-link has.  However, it happens only if the
	path-name of the directory has '/' as the last character.

>How-To-Repeat:

	$ ln -s YYY XXX
	$ cc foo.c
	$ a.out
	panic: lockmgr: locking against myself
	Stopped in a.out at     _Debugger+0x4:  leave
	db>

	The content of the foo.c:

		#include <sys/types.h>
		#include <sys/stat.h>
	
		main()
		{
		    mkdir("XXX/", S_IRWXU);
		}
