Thanks for the tools.

It shows that cluster pointer is corrupted:

vidya:[ttyv1] minfo> ./minfo -N ../kernel.debug.1 -M ../vmcore.1
mb_map: 4272/81920 K used (5.21%)
map start: 0xc2079000, end 0xc7079000
 1068/20480 pages used, 17088 mbuf-size slots
Checking cluster ref counts
Scanning cluster free list...minfo: Cluster pointer 0x7007800 out of range!
