Can you please point me at a page which tickles it?

I don't see any reason why you would need to do that. Ever since I wrote
that code, the diagnostic panic has *never* been triggered until now. The
old TCP_REASS() macro (which was eliminated and just inlined, grumble) didn't
TCP_REASS_UNLOCK() before the sorwakeup(). Not only that, but the only way
that panic can be triggered is for there to be some recursive entry into
tcp_input() *on the same PCB*!
Basically, I don't think TCP_REASS() is the problem. Take a look at the
tcp_reass() function itself. It makes a call to sorwakeup(), too, but
you don't need to TCP_REASS_UNLOCK() before that one!
I think more searching is in order.
