panic on tap device close ...

I have seen this panic twice today with the kernel sources being just a 
few days old. The kdb output is in the form of a screen shot which was

This occurred doing some tests with the following code. It just creates 
a tap device, configures it with an address/netmask/mtu and holds the

and started fiddling with ifconfig and netstat in another terminal. The 
panic happens eventually when the taptest program exits ...
