Me too.. Sorry for the terribly latency in giving you more info.

No, but I've got the dump.  It looks like it was preempted by
the fxp ethernet driver's ithread:

(kgdb) p ((struct thread*)0xC15B9000)->td_proc->p_comm
$7 = "irq31: fxp0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"

Maybe this would be easier to debug if I disabled preemption?

% cat opt_sched.h 
#define PREEMPTION 1
#define SCHED_4BSD 1
