"Memory leak in zone VM map entries"?

Hi, all. I have a fairly new iMac (running Catalina, version 10.15.7) and today it's randomly rebooting and I'm getting this error:

panic(cpu 1 caller 0xffffff80125749eb): "zalloc: zone map exhausted while allocating from zone APFS_4K_OBJS, likely due to memory leak in zone VM map entries (1435454160 total bytes, 17472940 elements allocated)"@/AppleInternal/BuildRoot/Library/Caches/com.apple.xbs/Sources/xnu/xnu-6153.141.35/osfmk/kern/zalloc.c:3627

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities.

I believe we need to proceed with an EtreCheck report. EtreCheck is a useful App to diagnose and identify issues, both hardware and software. It is trusted by many users. Please follow the steps outlined below:

Navigate to: https://etrecheck.com and get the free version of EtreCheckPro.
Download it. It is a free and trusted app. It is often recommended here on Apple Support Communities.
Open EtreCheck, and before running the report, be sure to check “Allow full Drive Access” at the bottom of the EtreCheckPro window.
Run the report, and put it in a post, as seen here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-250000211. We will then examine the report for issues in your Mac.

Cheers,

Jack
