I met the similar panic twice, after I saw the above message.
First, the crash dump was unfortunately not made.
Second, the crash dump was made and kgdb said the same line
(FreeBSD7.2R) causes the panic.

Now, I configured the kernel and I used the loadable module of
firewire.  So, I can easy to modify the module and it enables to add
to show debug information other than "sysctl debug.firewire_debug=3".

I noticed lines 2197-2199 are
#if 0
	dump_db(sc, dmach);
#endif
Are the information generated by the commented out the lines useful to
analyze the problem?

I feel that to start fwcontrol -R when finishing fwcontrol -R just
after typing ctrl-c may cause a panic.  I will confirm this tomorrow.

Best regards,

Kazumaro
