>Description:
I'm running 2 jails, and 2 VirtualBox sessions (with Win2k3 Server & WinXP).  If I only run 1 VirtualBox session, the problem seems to be rarer.

There doesn't seem to be too much of a pattern other than increased load increases the risk.  Sometimes the server is stable for a week, other times minutes or hours.

spin lock 0xffffffff80752f80 (smp rendezvous) held by 0xffffff0001879740 (tid 100022) too long
exclusive spin mutex smp rendezvous (smp rendezvous) r = 0 (0xffffffff80752f80)
locked @ /usr/src/sys/amd64/amd64/mp_machdep.c:992
panic: spin lock held too long
cpuid = 4
Uptime: 8m30s
