The crash happened in bpf_filter.c, accessing a page in kmem-space.
I hope this is not another problem caused by the kmem/malloc changes after
5.99.60.

Hmm. Corrupted stack frame?


For a test you can disable the bpf(4) device. Comment out the line
  pseudo-device   bpfilter                # packet filter
in your config and recompile the kernel.

Yes... to be done... :|

It really should be done. AFAIK no PPC port can currently dump a
system core.

Also at the same or similar position in the transfer?

I tried it from an VIA-Epia board to a Synology DS-101g+, running 5.99.59.
Transfer rates from only 100KB/s. There must be a problem with the
Epia's i82540EM 1000BASE-T Ethernet adapter. But no crash.

Then I tried it from a Soekris (AMD-Elan based) box to a QNAP TS-101,
running 5.99.48. Transfer rates up to 800KB/s. But the Soekris is slow
(133MHz). No crash again.

In both cases all network interfaces run at 100baseTX full-duplex.
Did you use Gigabit-Ethernet?

I can try again with my G600 and a recent kernel this evening.
