There is a known bug in netinet6 that might cause this behaviour
(although, I didn't see reboots, only panics). The fix is known but
has not been committed yet. Here it is:

--- netinet6/mld6.c	Wed Nov  9 08:27:14 2005
***************
*** 640,645 ****
--- 640,649 ----
  		mld6_stop_listening(in6m);
  		ifma->ifma_protospec = NULL;
  		LIST_REMOVE(in6m, in6m_entry);
+ 		if (in6m->in6m_timer != IN6M_TIMER_UNDEF)
+ 			mld_stoptimer(in6m);
  		free(in6m->in6m_timer_ch, M_IP6MADDR);
  		free(in6m, M_IP6MADDR);
  	}

The bug I mentioned was committed on Oct 21.

If the fix don't help, try to disable INET6 and see if that helps.
