freebsd stable - Oct 2003 - 4.9-RC panic on 24 hours

Hi again stable folk.

CVSUP performed at: 2003.10.23.at.22.21.18 (EDT)

Now, I want to save some folks some time here and dispell some of the usual
reasons that are tossed my way when I bring up these 24 hour panics:

1) It is not happening at 3:00 AM, and I can run periodic anytime of the day
without incident.

2) The panics happened in the past, as this time, almost exactly on 24
hours, regardless of the time of day of the last panic or reboot.

3) The panics do not happen to coincide with any specific task in cron,
network activity, etc.

I am seriously contemplating moving back to RELENG_4_8 since I have had so
many problems with STABLE since the PAE import.  This isn't to say that my
problems are related to PAE, just that that's about the time that this
craziness started.

I hope that someone finds this information useful, and I am open to any
suggestions that anyone would like to present.

Thank you much!

#16 0xc01f45b5 in arptimer (ignored_arg=0x0) at
/usr/src/sys/netinet/if_ether.c:152
        rt = (struct rtentry *) 0x0
        s = 4194304
        la = (struct llinfo_arp *) 0x620000
        ola = (struct llinfo_arp *) 0x0
#17 0xc01a8259 in softclock () at /usr/src/sys/kern/kern_timeout.c:131
        c_func = (void (*)()) 0xc01f4580 <arptimer>
        c_arg = (void *) 0x0
        c = (struct callout *) 0x0
        bucket = (struct callout_tailq *) 0xcf0e3bd0
        s = 4194304
        curticks = 8640950
        steps = 0

I wonder if this is related to the (security-related) ARP changes from a few
weeks ago.

Bruce is still waiting on the crashdump so he can analyse the problem.
Any progress on this?
