I recently did a little diagnosis using the core files this bug has produced for me. The trap is occurring inside some INVARIANTS code in malloc(), so I tried turning off INVARIANTS. It was not surprising that this failed to improve matters: it only made the crashes more random :-) (Sometimes the machine locked up completely, sometimes the USB died but everything else continued to work -- LEDs on the ADSL modem turned off and `usbdevs` would hang when I tried to run it and unplugging and replugging the modem didn't fix things -- and sometimes I got a normal page fault panic.) The crashes don't seem to be related to memory pressure; in fact I haven't noticed any particular trigger for them even though several have happened while I have been using the machine. I have recently started running ntpd and the crashes seem to happen more often now, however they haven't happened when I have been doing bulk downloads...
