Just thought I'd share this. It turns out that whatever was causing the kernel to panic went away after I limited kern.maxprocperuid to 250 for the users ( it had been 1043, with maxproc set at 1044). So this problem seems to have moved. I'm not sure it's significant at this point, but if someone is interested in pursuing it, I'll be happy to take whatever traces you need if you send me some mail. I'm fairly confident I can reproduce it if maxprocperuid is set back to (maxproc-1).
