The trick, as discussed on current@FreeBSD.ORG, was to use a precompiled
Linux binary, which apparently bypassed a certain sanity check in the
kernel. It was indeed possible to force a kernel panic this way.
A fix by Don Lewis has been committed yesterday; the fixed version of
/src/sys/netinet/ip_input.c is 1.103 (1.104 contains some optimisations in
the fragment reassembly code).
Take care,
