ok, there is something strange going on in the
sbappendrecord_locked(). consider the following initial conditions:

1) sockbuf sb is empty, i.e. sb_mb == sb_mbtail == sb_lastrecord == NULL

2) sbappendrecord_locked() is given mbuf m0 with has exactly one mbuf,
i.e. m0->m_next == NULL

so

void
sbappendrecord_locked(struct sockbuf *sb, struct mbuf *m0)
{
        struct mbuf *m;

        SOCKBUF_LOCK_ASSERT(sb);

        if (m0 == 0)
                return;
        m = sb->sb_mb;

        if (m)
                while (m->m_nextpkt)
                        m = m->m_nextpkt;

--> m is still NULL at this point

        /*
         * Put the first mbuf on the queue.  Note this permits zero length
         * records.
         */
        sballoc(sb, m0);
        SBLASTRECORDCHK(sb);

--> passed successfully, because sb_mb == sb_lastrecord == NULL (i.e.
sockbuf is empty)

        SBLINKRECORD(sb, m0);

--> at this point sb_mb == sb_lastrecord  == m0, _but_ sb_mtail == NULL

        if (m)
                m->m_nextpkt = m0;
        else
                sb->sb_mb = m0;

--> not sure about those lines above, didn't SBLINKRECORD(sb, m0) take
care of it already?
--> in any case, still, sb_mb == sb_lastrecord == m0 _and_ still
sb_mtail == NULL

        m = m0->m_next;
        m0->m_next = 0;

--> m is still NULL here

        if (m && (m0->m_flags & M_EOR)) {
                m0->m_flags &= ~M_EOR;
                m->m_flags |= M_EOR;
        }

--> sbcompress() is called with m == NULL, which is triggers the panic
(read below)

        sbcompress(sb, m, m0);
}

===========

void
sbcompress(struct sockbuf *sb, struct mbuf *m, struct mbuf *n)
{
        int eor = 0;
        struct mbuf *o;

        SOCKBUF_LOCK_ASSERT(sb);

        while (m) {

--> lots of code that never gets executed because m == NULL

        }
        if (eor) {
                KASSERT(n != NULL, ("sbcompress: eor && n == NULL"));
                n->m_flags |= eor;
        }

--> this where panic happens, because sb_mbtail is still NULL, but
sockbuf now contains exactly one record

        SBLASTMBUFCHK(sb);
}

so, it looks like, sbcompress() should only be called when m != NULL.
also, when m == NULL, m0 should be marked as EOR.

comments anyone?
