recurring panics

[Thomas Klausner <tk%giga.or.at@localhost>]

Hi!

I have had this kind of reboot about 5 times in the last couple of days:

Mar  8 16:26:14 yt savecore: reboot after panic: panic: kernel diagnostic assertion "l->l_nopreempt == 0" failed: file "/archive/foreign/src/sys/sys/userret.h", line 116  WARNING: SPL NOT LOWERED ON SYSCALL 16384 24 EXIT ef20f930 6 WARNING: SPL NOT LOWERED ON TRAP EXIT 6 0

For some of them, I even have crash dumps:

I upgraded from a Jan 28 kernel to a March 3 kernel, and I think it
only started afterwards.

Any ideas?
