None whatsoever. When I originally experienced the panic I Google'd around
a bit and checked the FreeBSD forums. The only thing I was able to learn
was that fsck fixed the issue for those who experienced it, but nothing as
to why. Never experienced the "glitch" again and I did not find anyone for
whom the issue recurred.
