kernel panic in bpf_mtap

In a 4.8-STABLE kernel (cvsup'd yesterday), I'm getting a kernel panic
early in bpf_mtap. I use bpf extensively (through the pcap library),
but am now getting panics. This occurs on code I'm working on,
not by default.
This is happening on my laptop running 4.7 and 4.8, as well as my
desktop running 4.8-RC from March, so it is unlikely this is a hardware
problem. They are attached to different networks right now. I can
reproduce the kernel panic with high degree of regularity (>50% of the
times I run a program that takes less than 2 seconds).
Below is the output from a gdb of the kernel core dump. My read is
the mbuf chain got messed up. I've tried tracing back the execution
path to figure out where it's being set, but it's a bit opaque to
someone with limited knowledge of the FreeBSD kernel (me). In case
it matters, the received packet is an ARP request packet (hrd=ARPHRD_ETHER,
format=8, hln=6, pln=4, op=ARPOP_REQUEST).
The panic itself said the panic occured at bpf_mtap+0x18: addl
0xc(%eax),%esi.
Does anyone have any ideas on what might be going on? It's possible,
perhaps likely, that my software has a bug which is corrupting memory
somehow, but I would not expect that to cause a kernel panic.
Thank you for any help you can provide.
