Your panic looks like the same panic as mine, but with memguard rather
than redzone.  These systems do similar things, I suppose it is only
natural that they'd be hit by the same bug.

I built a kernel without 'device pty' thus removing the pts code, and
I still see the same panic with redzone enabled.  Perhaps your initial
panic is the result of the pts code, but this memguard/redzone panic
is different, and may not be related.

My original question still stands: Does redzone work in combination
with INVARIANTS on other platforms?  Amd64 is the only -current
platform I'm running...
