Try turning INVARIANTS and INVARIANT_SUPPORT on in your kernel and see if you 
can reproduce this.  Also, try to get a traceback in ddb if possible as 
sometimes ddb gives more reliable stack traces.  It looks like your m is 
NULL, in which case the KASSERT() on the previous line should fire if 
INVARIANTS is on.
