This problem predates PAE in -stable, just in case there is any confusion.

I remember looking at this for you before, and it looked tricky to
resolve. It had many of the traits of a hardware problem or a general
memory corruption problem. It wasn't clear to me if dirhash was the
problem or just detecting it.

Did I suggested running with "sysctl vfs.ufs.dirhash_docheck=1"?
It might change the panic to be closer to when the corruption occurs.
If you can give me access to the vmcore and debugging kernel you
have, I can have another look, but I'm not optimistic.
