Hmm, this is due to a bug I noticed recently as well.  I had been talking
with Alan and Konstantin about the proper fix.  Hmm, thinking abou this some 
more, perhaps a simpler fix would be to have a 'I'm already in 
vm_map_process_deferred()' flag.  Or even better, just move the entire list
off into a static variable so that we don't get caught in recursion.  
Something like this:

Index: vm_map.c
===================================================================
--- vm_map.c	(revision 237227)
+++ vm_map.c	(working copy)
_at__at_ -475,12 +475,14 _at__at_ static void
 vm_map_process_deferred(void)
 {
 	struct thread *td;
-	vm_map_entry_t entry;
+	vm_map_entry_t entry, next;
 	vm_object_t object;
 
 	td = curthread;
-	while ((entry = td->td_map_def_user) != NULL) {
-		td->td_map_def_user = entry->next;
+	entry = td->td_map_def_user;
+	td->td_map_def_user = NULL;
+	while (entry != NULL) {
+		next = entry->next;
 		if ((entry->eflags & MAP_ENTRY_VN_WRITECNT) != 0) {
 			/*
 			 * Decrement the object's writemappings and
_at__at_ -494,6 +496,7 _at__at_ vm_map_process_deferred(void)
 			    entry->end);
 		}
 		vm_map_entry_deallocate(entry, FALSE);
+		entry = next;
 	}
 }
