I'm busy trying to reproduce with options DIAGNOSTIC right now. So far 
it hasn't panicked in the last 3 hours.

Will try after this after the next panic.

I strongly suspect that the problems were introduced after pullup-4 
#1339. I've got 13 netbsd-4 machines that were updated to recent 
netbsd-4 source containing pullup-4 #1339 and about 5 of these have 
suddenly started panicking in the 3 days since the update (these were 
all running fine for months before this update). All of these machines 
experience heavy network loading 24/7.

Thanks,
