    Hi again,

    I installed gdb6 from ports, which works.
    It just confirms the addr2line result:

    (kgdb) l *0xc053932b
    0xc053932b is in witness_checkorder (/usr/src/sys/kern/subr_witness.c:898).

    Yes, I usually have enough space there. It was an ill coincidence. :-/

    Don:
    Thanks for the hint to run savecore later on. I should have guessed
    as long as there is not much going on and swap did not need to used
    yet, I would have gotten a good core. Unfortunately it is to late
    for now. I'll keep it in mind, though.

    John:
    Ok, mutex/witness confusion is maybe going on. How would you suggest
    to proceed. I am a little reluctant to boot the machine to multi-user
    and wait for the next crash (which most of the time does not
    produce a dump or ddb prompt), since I would have to hit the
    reset button and right now, I'm at home now and have only remote
    access.

    How about the first stack trace (from ddb) that was included in
    the PR. Although the crashdump was wasted, the ddb trace could give
    some additional hints maybe?

    It also shows witness_checkorder(), but it also shows
    the other stack frames and as it seems the passed values.

    I can do some examination with these info on the system
    with gdb, but I could use a hint for what to look out for.

    Thanks,
     Daniel
