You still didn't get the backtrace I requested (if dump is failing for
you then try minidumps or compile in DDB and use that -- again, please
read the developers handbook), but this particular panic has an obvious
explanation: your kernel ran out of memory. Set the vm.kmem_size
tunable to some larger value than 320M, or modify your workload to use
less kernel memory.
