On those hosts, did /boot/modules/linker.hints get generated 
correctly/completely?  I have seen, at least from the subversion tree, a 
very small linker.hints file where I need to rerun kldxref on 
/boot/modules else a panic may occur.

I personally get panics on my FreeBSD 8 amd64 host running the Nvidia 
driver (currently v195.36.24 but occurred with earlier drivers too). 
This is with a non-X FreeBSD 8 amd64 guest and using ssh to the guest. 
I think it is panic'ing when transferring some files to it from the 
host.  Unfortunately, the system locks up completely, so there is no 
core saved.

I would have reported both earlier but life has been very busy.
