Please, submit me the output of the "print *mp" in the same frame.
Also, I'm interested in kernel config.

Is the problem reproducible ?

It seems now that any time I compile openoffice the system will
eventually panic. Other disk intensive jobs, like my nightly photo-album
update, may or may not trigger it. I currently have two dumps for
6.1p10. I thought this might be failing hardware because the system has
worked fine for nearly a year, but the fact that it panics on the same
line of code every time makes me wonder.

I'm very suspicious to the claim of failing hw since trace is the same all
times (is this true) ? This looks like memory corruption.

First, I would recommend to update to RELENG_6 due to a number of VFS fixes.
Second, could you set kern.maxvnodes in the /boot/loader.conf ? Check the
value choosen by kernel by "sysctl kern.maxvnodes", and then set it
to the 2/3 of the reported number and reboot.

If I not gather any useful info from that action, I most likely provide you
with debugging patch.
