Nope, it's SCHED_ULE.

I tried with libkse and now I don't even get a useful panic.  Just "page
fault" and disk sync!

I've found my scrap of paper, though.  Here's what I got last week:

Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
fault virtual address	= 0x0
code			= supervisor write, page not present
processor eflags	= interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0
current process		= 4 (g_down)

I don't have DDB in my kernel

I could reinstall a kernel with DDB enabled.  But then what do I do when
I get my "page fault" followed by disk sync?

I realize that the person seeing the problem is usually the person who
should diagnose it, but I'm under hard pressure on a deadline for work.

Perhaps someone else with a bit more free time could try this out?

Ciao,
Sheldon.
