95% chance your machine has flaky hardware, and it's being stressed by
the daily maintenance scripts that run at 3am.  Do you have
spontaneous reboots or system crashes doing other resource-intensive
tasks like 'make world'?

5% chance there's something else screwed up on your machine, and it's
running a binary that is causing the system to panic and reboot.

See the handbook about how to obtain panic crashdumps so that you'll
be able to tell what the system was doing when it crashed.
