I can't see an invalid eip, ebp, or esp in the above page fault.  It would
really help if you could get a backtrace ("tr" when you have DDB enabled).
BTW, re_at_ people:  could we add an option (under a sysctl but on by default
in the release) that does a backtrace on page fault?  We already have the
backtrace code accessible w/o DDB I believe.
