I've had softdeps panics on 1.5.1/vax when copying larger (for a vax, 
anyways) data sets from one disk to another (a slightly >4GB disk was 
involved, I don't know if that is really an issue); I think I mentioned 
that in the mailing list then (sorry, no pointers) but I generally 
didn't consider softdeps too stable with that release so I didn't bother 
writing a PR, especially since I've seen reports from others with 
corruption and panics on 1.5.x/vax and non-vax with softdeps enabled at 
that time.  So, I'd say, the bug(s) are there at least since 1.5.1.
