"swap_pager" loop?

Greetings,

Yesterday morning I came in to find a 6.2-RC1 server deadlocked in a loop 
with the following error messages on the console:

swap_pager: indefinite wait buffer: bufobj: 0, blkno: 5, size: 4096
swap_pager: indefinite wait buffer: bufobj: 0, blkno: 13, size: 4096
swap_pager: indefinite wait buffer: bufobj: 0, blkno: 5, size: 4096
swap_pager: indefinite wait buffer: bufobj: 0, blkno: 13, size: 4096
....

The machine has 4gb of ram, a 4gb swap partition on /dev/amrd0s1b, and
provides nfs/nis/samba/printing (cups) services.

This issue appears to have been open since at least 6.1-RELEASE, and I was
wondering if anyone had a work-around that we can use for the time being.

Thanks!

Ken
