Setting idn_protocol_nservers Value to the Minimum Value of One Causes Panic (4275051)

Setting the idn.conf(4) parameter idn_protocol_nservers to one can cause the domain to panic. The idn.conf(4) parameters are initialized when the domain is rebooted and the IDN driver is loaded. If the domain panics, the event detector daemon reboots the domain, and the domain panics again, causing an unrecoverable error.

Workaround: Do not set this parameter to one. If this error occurs, reboot the domain to single-user mode and remove the /etc/hostname.idnX file to prevent the IDN driver from being automatically loaded at reboot.
