I just sent this into the ISC bug report email address (support@ism.isc.com)
that was recently posted here and was curious if anyone else has hit this
kernel panic too. Just wondering if this is a common kernel panic or if I
have something misconfigured on my system.
(I know I should have written down the exact kernel panic error message, but
unforntunately I didn't. I really don't want to crash my system again just
to reproduce the panic message. This panic has taken down the system twice
and I have no inclination to repeat it again.)
Here's a copy of the bug report sent in to support@ism.isc.com:

Subject: VP/ix kernel panic

Thanks for posting an email address for sending in bug reports.
Though I didn't write down the exact error message, this kernel panic bug
is *very* repeatable. I really don't like abusing my system, so if you'd
like more details, please email and I'll gladly crash my system for you. :-)
I'm running ISC 2.2 and the VP/ix options from /usr/options are:
VP/ix Multi-User Extension - Version 1.2
VP/ix Environment Configuration-Version 1.2.0
VP/ix Environment Core-Version 1.2.0
VP/ix Environment Upgrade for Windows3.0 - Version 1.2.01
VP/ix Environment Multi-User DOS-Version 1.2.0
Basically it's very simple, when you have a DOS partition mounted from
Unix and you "mv" a DOS file from one DOS directory to another DOS
directory (from a Unix shell), then a few seconds later the kernel will
panic.
(The panic message says something about the DOS file structure be corrupted;
attempting to free an invalid DOS entry or something like that.)
