OK, I found a way to cheat around the missing -g symbols ... and: all
the data at 0xce0dc900 are zeroed out.  The other address does not
make any sense at all:

It's a checkout from a CVS tree, so I cannot give you an exact SVN
revision number.  The checkout has been done on April 13.

This was my fear, and that's why I wrote to the freebsd-scsi list.

Could that be an issue with the multiple SCSI tape drive device nodes?
I see, /dev/nsa0.0 is somehow involved into the panic, yet other
processes might access just /dev/nsa0 (which is a different cdev).

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
