I just got a new crash.

The system was running DragonFly v2.5.1.902.g333f4-DEVELOPMENT from the 25th.

There were these messages on the console:

Warning: pmap_interlock 00010003
Warning: pmap_interlock 00010003

No cache_lock stuff this time.

The machine did respond to ping and to some limited keyboard action:

- I could switch virtual terminals via ALT-F2, -F3 etc...
- I could switch numlock/scroll lock/capslock/ keyboard leds on or off
- I could move back in console history with scroll lock / Page Up or Page Down

Apart from that, typing on the keyboard had no effect.

I could get a core dump via ctl-alt-esc; you can get it here:
