I'm sure you remember this thread:

https://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-net/2024/10/18/msg008895.html

While PR kern/57208 was fixed and no longer happens, there were other, 
different panics after that fix.

I haven't been able to reproduce this in any other environment, and so 
long as this machine is routing a public subnet, I'm reluctant to do more 
testing on it unless I'm sure that I can get to it quickly when it happens 
(virtually, via serial console) and that the information will help lead to 
a fix.

It may be that I decide to do this, anyway, because this situation is no 
fun. If I do, I'll try to get all the information you suggested in that 
thread.

Thanks!
John
