 Hi Mark,
 
 Please cancel this report.
 Sorry for taking your time - but at the first sight coretemp was the reason.
 (Module unload fixed a problem - but only for a first 12-24 hours.).
 The reason for panic was a sphinxsearch (searchd).
 At this moment we are downgraded it to 0.9.9 and this seems solved a kernel
 panic problem.
 But we still have a growing active memory issue.
 
 Thank you for your time and attention.
 WBR,
 Max.
