Unfortunately, the trace, at least by itself, doesn't really have
much information.  It tells you that somewhere, somehow, you ended
up holding a dcache entry without a positive refcount, and then
tried to release it.  I looked at the code around where the stack
trace indicates it crashed, but couldn't see any obvious problem
with handling of dcache references.  Does the other machine's panic
stack trace look basically the same, or does it have something else
of interest?
