Three routines with "dlgn" in their names: dlgnwput, _dlgn_putc,
_dlgn_send.  The next two, sramsendcm and sr_device, are probably
utility routines within the "dlgn" driver; then it calls freemsg() which
is a thin wrapper around freeb(), which panics.  So a utility routine in
the Dialog driver is passing a bad pointer (points to invalid memory, or
wasn't allocated by allocb(), or was already freed, etc.) to freemsg().

The routines prf_task_sw() and cmn_err() will show up in any stack trace
of a system panicing, they're part of the normal code path of the panic
procedure.  Then if someone displays that stack with crash(ADM),
"prf_task_sw" gets truncated to "prf_task_s", giving a perfect match...
