:Hi,
:
:This is a known issue. Matt gave us a patch to fix this:
:http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/~tuxillo/archive/0001-HAMMER-Fix-cleanup.patch
:Just fetch it and 'git am 0001-HAMMER-Fix-cleanup.patch'  to apply to
:your local checkout and then quickkernel.
:
:I don't know what's blocking to commit this fix.
:
:Btw, you can take advantage of Alex's minidump port in HEAD to avoid
:such huge dumps :-)

:Cheers,
:Antonio Huete

    There is still a another panic related to searches going past the end
    of the key range (which isn't supposed to be able to happen).  I don't
    know if the patch makes it better or worse, if the patch is the cause
    (I don't think it is), or if there are other consequences to the patch.

    I was holding off the commit while trying to track it down but maybe
    I should just commit that patch and treat the remaining panic as
    a separate issue.

    I do still need new crash dumps for the remaining panic (not the
    parent != NULL panic but the other one... I think it was a key
    comparison panic in the btree iteration / search code).
