    Yup, that was it.   msdosfs_write() was getting proc from 
    uio->uio_td->td_proc, but uio_td can be NULL.  In this case I just
    conditionalized it, the proc is being used to do filesize resource
    limit checks and I think we can safely say that we don't really care
    about that for msdosfs which stores no user cred info anyways, and
    doubly so when accessed from an NFS server.
