Hi,

I keep getting gernel panics in 1.6 kernel whenever there is a process
that does a lot of stat calls. That, unfortunately, involves
/etc/daily script and nightly backups. The crash always happens in the
same place (see kern/17107 and the stack trace below).

This was happening with 1.6_BETA1 and it's still in 1.6-RELEASE.

Frank van der Linden suggested that it may be a "race condition with
reclaiming vnodes and unmounting a filesystem; this vnode seems to
have its mountpoint zeroed out too soon".

I would appreciate any hints/clues/suggestions/whatnot that would help
me to find solution of workaround for the panic.

Thanks,

--Artem
