Actually I traced this back to ONE particular activity as I had an
almost immediate repeat - I was trying to connect with silc to a particular
silc server in an interactive session and this seems to trigger the
condition.

The silc server in question belongs to a cabal which I'm sure many on
developers@ will be highly familiar with (if not members thereof)...

My paranoia gland is thinking, is someone exercising the mbuf vulnerability
for shits and giggles, but I don't have enough data to arrive at this as
a logical conclusion.

The backtrace for the second panic was identical so I'll omit it here.
