Reading back to Doug's and Yar's messages regarding the NTFS
filesystem, I noticed that I am also mounting NTFS filesystems at boot
time.  I disabled the mounting of the NTFS filesystems.  When 'cd
/usr/ports ; find . -print' or '/usr/local/etc/cvsup/update.sh' is
run, the panic doesn't occur.

But when I mount the NTFS filesystem, and rerun the above commands,
they cause the lstat panic.  Even though these commands are not
touching the NTFS filesystems.

Also mounting/unmounting a NTFS filesystem will cause a panic.

I applied the above patch to sources that were checked out about 2 hrs
ago.  Rebuilt/installed kernel and rebooted.

If I don't mount a NTFS filesystem then the kernel doesn't panic when
the above commands are run.

But when the NTFS filesystem is mounted, the following lock order
reversal occurs:

lock order reversal:

Instead of getting the lstat panic, I am now getting the following
panic when /usr/local/etc/cvsup/update.sh ran:
