Just want to add one more instance ;-)

I have seen this kind of panic since 4.x, it does not happen very often
but it often (not always) happens when the filesystem is full. The server
in question is an i386 with local disk exported via nfs to ~20 clients. The
filesystem was UFS1 and now UFS2 (but the underlying disk was changed
to another raid box). Softupdate is turned on all the time, but not quota.
The block in panic message does not the same. And I do full fsck after
the panic (no background fsck). Some previous ddb and kgdb sessions
can be found at:
