Hello all, I keep getting a kernel panic every Saturday night, so I 
figured I would go through the core dump.

Note the uptime, this happens every Saturday for the last three weeks. I 
have a cronjob that tar/bzips a drive and scps it to another box, but 
that runs nightly at midnight on the cronjob, and this happens weekly 
but only on Saturday, same cronjob same data. I figured if it happened 
again, I would hit up the mailing list. Hopefully you all can suggest 
what to upgrade to or how to further troubleshoot this issue. Thanks a 
bundle y'all, love the beastie!
