I just received the release notes for Ultrix 2.3.  Page 2-3 of the
release notes says:

	"Changes in the accounting state could cause several different
	system panics; for example, a km_free: bad dealloc message
	when shutting down system down.  These panics have been
	eliminated."

In other words, the problem exists in an unpatched 2.2 system.  You
might be able to get a patch for this problem.
