I believe this bug is a consequence of the recent kqueue work.

The panic originates at line 600 of sys/kern/kern_event.c

The relevant line is part of kern_event():
	TAILQ_INSERT_TAIL(&kq->kq_knpend, &marker, kn_tqe);

This function is marked MPSAFE; I'm running a SMP kernel on a Core 2 Duo CPU.

So far, this panic occurs every few hours with the latest kernel.
