Unfortunately, I don't have that kernel.debug anymore.  I saw
that alc had committed a few changes, so updated the kernel.
I do have the kernel and kernel.symbol files.  Loading 
kernel.symbol into gdb shows

(gdb) l *0xffffffff80570b89
0xffffffff80570b89 is in strcmp (/usr/src/sys/libkern/strcmp.c:45).
40       */
41      int
42      strcmp(s1, s2)
43              register const char *s1, *s2;
44      {
45              while (*s1 == *s2++)
46                      if (*s1++ == 0)
47                              return (0);
48              return (*(const unsigned char *)s1 - *(const unsigned char *)(s2 - 1));
49      }

Don't know if the above helps or is a red-herring.

I may be able to reproduce the crash.  I give it a try in a
few moments.
