Hello,

FWIW,  I had a similar panic today on 9.2-RELEASE with a GENERIC kernel:
panic: Bad entry start/end for new stack entry
cpuid = 1
KDB: stack backtrace:
#0 0xffffffff80947986 at kdb_backtrace+0x66
#1 0xffffffff8090d9ae at panic+0x1ce
#2 0xffffffff80b81314 at vm_map_stack+0x274
#3 0xffffffff80b83584 at vm_mmap+0x674
#4 0xffffffff80b83d2f at sys_mmap+0x1cf
#5 0xffffffff80cf187a at amd64_syscall+0x5ea
#6 0xffffffff80cdbff7 at Xfast_syscall+0xf7

It looks like the box was compiling java related ports (java/jaxen and
devel/antlr) when it panic'ed.

Cheers,

Antoine
