FWIW, I too have started to experience the same problem.  Random Trap 12
kernel panics, followed by reboots.  I just installed a debug kernel to
try to find out what's causing it.  The problems did not occur on FreeBSD
4.1.1 or lower.  I've been running FreeBSD on the same hardware for about
4 months with no problems, and Linux on the hardware for about year prior
to that.  They started, for me, about a week after upgrading to
4.2-RELEASE.

I have recompiled all my installed ports, upgraded to -STABLE (from the
17th), took the machine apart and reseated everything, and added a cooling
fan to the HD.  This seems to have helped, as the reboots are nowhere near
as frequent.  It certainly wouldn't hurt to try the same thing, just to be
sure it isn't something silly like a card slipping out of its slot, dust
buildup in the machine, or an incompatability between an old port and the
new world.
