In my case, the problem manifests itself running 10. Emulex provides a =
more recent driver which compiles perfectly and works perfectly (if we =
can safely assume that a weekend saturating a couple of interfaces =
runnning benchmarks with no glitches is a good hint).

I am now installing the latest beta of 9.3 to see if I can reproduce the =
panic. I will follow-up in a couple of hours if possible.
