Aaron,
I can't help you with the specific error you're getting but I highly
recommend the two article series from Michael Lucas about System Panics on
www.onlamp.com:

Article 1: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2002/03/21/Big_Scary_Daemons.html
Article 2: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2002/04/04/Big_Scary_Daemons.html

They've helped me a lot with panics.

hth,
Maurice Reeves
