You need a new kernel. Ask ops where to get it.
I can generate a binary patch (change two words) if you want.
This is the RCS log of the change that fixed the bug.

GUPDATE requires valid (struct timeval *) arguments; the previous code
would dereference a null pointer which would panic the kernel if a
physical page had not already been mapped to virtual address 0 (and
was most exercised by the fileserver's copy-on-write).
