 Sorry for the delay, due to illness, it took me a over a week to install
 the patch on my production servers. I've now had it installed for a week.
 
 At some point after I filed the initial bug report, I stopped getting
 these panics on a regular basis.
 
 However, I did do a "tcpdrop" on one of the ESTABLISHED connections
 that have no corresponding entry in lsof/fstat and got the second panic
 described in the ticket.
 
 So, only time will tell if the initial problem is fixed, but there is
 still that weird issue with ESTABLISHED connections that I can't even
 work around with tcpdrop.
 
 Thanks.
