 Hi,
 
 I've had the same issue with the AMD64 version of Release 8.0.  However, I'm not running jails but the issue seems to occur when running two VirtualBox sessions-one running FreeBSD version 8.0 and the other running Windows XP.  I'm running under KDE.  I have 12 GB main memory.
 
 I've tried to run Windows XP under load but could not repeat the panic.
 
 It seems that the common factor here is running VirtualBox and Windows XP.
 
 ...howard
