No that won't help.
It's failing in the BZERO() here:
10117 for (i = 0; (i < ARRAY_LENGTH(kmem_cache_s_array)) &&
10118 (cpudata[i]) && !(index); i++) {
10119 BZERO(si->cpudata[i], sizeof(ulong) * vt->kmem_max_limit);
What is "i" equal to when it segfaults? If you have a crash core file,
print out the contents of the global "vm_table". In that structure
there is a "kmem_max_cpus" field. If "i" is greater or equal to that,
then that's one explanation.
Or you can bring up the dumpfile (or live system), and look at the value
kmem_max_cpus by looking at the output of "help -v".
