COMMAND

    getnewbuf

SYSTEMS AFFECTED

    FreeBSD prior to 3.3-RELEASE

PROBLEM

    Following came  originally from  FreeBSD list  (by dillon).   Just
    prior to  the 3.3  release getnewbuf()  was patched  to avoid this
    particular panic.  The patch is about as good as we can get  short
    of rewriting getnewbuf() in  the 3.x releases.   getnewbuf() *has*
    been completely  rewritten in  the 4.x  development kernels  (i.e.
    -current) and does not have this problem at all.

SOLUTION

    Bug of getnewbuf on nfs v3 has been patched on 3.3-RELEASE.
