Subject: kernel panics in anon_decref when killing a process
Hello,

We're running Solaris 10 08/07 on a single UltraSparc IIIi CPU.
Occasionally when a process is killed the kernel panics. We've
collected and analyzed the several core files and they all contain the
same call stack trace when the panic occurred.

# exec tcsh

The kernel panics in anon_decref. Does anyone have any insight as to
what could be happening here?

Thanks!

Google anon_decref and see bugs 6325383 and 6444367. See if they
shed any light. Basically, anon_free seems to be sending a null
pointer to anon_decref.
