It  probably  wasn't, since I had similar issues on 10-STABLE r266523.
It's  caused  (most  often)  by  packet returning from traffic shaping
queues, when in the meantime ng interface got destroyed by mpd. That's
why the sleep hack works; mpd destroys interface 1s later that usual.

Curious  though,  that  hostelnet uses ng_car for traffic shaping, yet
things  still panic, even though whole ordeal happens inside netgraph.

Lots of entry-points for a fix :)
