Looks like you have a NIC that still requires the Giant lock around the 
network stack and you found a callpath that does not pick it up.  As a 
workaround you can try to disable the mpsafe networking (debug.mpsafenet=0), 
be sure to tell us if that helps and examine "ifp" in the if_start frame if 
possible.
