 Oliver, please could you try the patch in kern/130286 ?
 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/130286
 
 There is a problem in the locking of the sessions in hifn(4), that
 could be the problem (not sure). But I'm not able to reproduce this
 problem with geli on my hardware (a Soekris net5501/i386 - VPN1411)
 
 You can build hifn with the HIFN_DEBUG option, it may help.
