Try backing the -CURRENT sources to "Jan 08 23:45 UTC 2008", and then
rebuild/install the kernel.  This is the point before the
vn_lock/VOP_LOCK changes. Reboot your system and perform your steps
that caused the lstat panic (this kernel shouldn't give the lstat
panic).

Create a  backup of this kernel:

cd /boot
cp -rp kernel kernel_good

Then try building/installing a kernel from  the -CURRENT sources that
have been updated to "Jan 08 23:49 UTC 2008".  Reboot and try the same
steps again, this kernel should give the lstat panic.

After it panics, just reboot, break into the boot loader, then do:

unload
boot kernel_good

Then either copy kernel_good to kernel or add the following to
/boot/loader.conf:

kernel="kernel_good"
