xtraeme@ noted the following panic:

panic: lockdebug_lookup: uninitialized lock (1, id=1049007)

--- syscall (number 357) ---

There are at least three problems:

1. Something in the MI kernel is either leaking memory, or failing to destroy
   locks. The "id" above indicates that the system has over 1M active locks.

2. The ID is above the current limit for subr_lockdebug.c (1048576).  It may
   be allocating more IDs/memory than it should.

3. subr_lockdebug.c should note when the limit is exceeded.
>How-To-Repeat:
Long uptime.
>Fix:
As above.
