The crash happens in m_xhalf, actually.  At least that's the
crash I saw on one of my computers (amd64 with wm(4)) at home,
under some slight pressure (buildling a release from NFS read-
only sources to a local mount).

I got the panic twice while using it remotely, but couldn't
reproduce it since then.  I couldn't get a crash dump at the
time, and I can't run it through kgdb (it's broken on amd64,
obviously).

So maybe it's time to send-pr it.
