  Hmmm, that panic looks somewhat familiar.  I think I've seen it before
on NetBSD, but not lately.

  The changes I made to Xcfbpmax would not be very likely to change the
remrunqueue panic.  The remrunqueue panic occurs when a call to remrunqueue()
is made with a process which doesn't appear to be on the run queue specified
by the process priority.  I'm not sure why this would occur, but I would
suspect something to do with the spl* levels and the pmax interrupt structure.
