:Received a panic today from -HEAD from sources dated August 16th.
:kernel and core (.12) is being uploaded to leaf.  Should take another 2
:hours or so before the core uploads.

    Got it.  It looks like a self-deadlock during the scan.  I think the
    bug is in unp_mark(), it is returning early without unlocking the
    spinlock.

    Try this patch.
