Is this box a busy nfs client?  I think a fix has been committed
against HEAD, and if you need, try applying the following patch:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/nfsclient/nfs_vnops.c.diff?r1=1.259&r2=1.260

Note that you can safely ignore the failure of first chunk of patch.

BTW.  If possible, would you please consider trying to obtain a crash
dump and post the backtrace so we can analyze further?  Some hints can
be obtained from:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/kerneldebug.html#KERNELDEBUG-OBTAIN

Your feedback would help us to improve FreeBSD, thanks!

Cheers,
