8.0-RC1-amd64-dvd1.iso booted to Fixit environment in vmware.
>Description:
Attempting to modify a file in a zfs snapshot directory causes kernel panic with the following message:

panic: dirtying snapshot!

Maybe related to this PR:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/138764
>How-To-Repeat:
1. load zfs from bootloader prompt and then boot.
2. enter fixit environment.
3. import zpool (in this case a 2 disk vmware mirror named sodpool)
4. cd to previously created snapshot at sodpool/test/myfs/.zfs/snapshot/one
5. attempting to create a new file here results in:

Fixit# echo hello > hello.txt
cannot create hello.txt: Read-only file system

6. That seems like the desired response.  Next, attempt to modify a
file that already exists in the snapshot:

Fixit# echo hello >> test.txt
panic: dirtying snapshot!
>Fix:
Unknown
