:What is vm_page_hash_mask? The chunk of memory you printed out below

:it just the vm_page_buckets[] pointer that is corrupt?

:The address 0xc08428cc is (char *)&vm_page_array[55060] + 28, and
:sizeof(struct vm_page) is 60, so 0xc08428cc is in the middle of
:a vm_page within vm_page_array[].

Yowzer. How the hell did that happen! Yes, you're right, the
vm_page_array[] pointer has gotten corrupted. If we assume that
the vm_page_t is valid (0xc0842acc), then the vm_page_buckets[]
pointer should be that.
vm_page_buckets[58630] -> c08428cc
panic on vm_page_t m -> c0842acc
Ok, so the corruption here is that an 'a' turned into an '8'. 1010 turned
into 1000... a bit got cleared.
This is very similar to the corruption I found on one of Yahoo's
machines. Except on that machine two bits were changed. It's as though
some other subsystem is trying to manipulate a flag in a structure using
a bad structure pointer.
