Looks like there's an issue with the new LZ4 compression (currently only 
in bloody, I believe) that can cause kernel panics when using dtrace:

The original author recommends not to use it until it is fixed:

Hopefully the fix will get in upstream quickly and get pulled into 
bloody before the next stable is released, I was planning to deploy LZ4 
on my new server using the next stable...
