It appears that it's related to the fact that I was setting nmbclusters
to 64000 during boot, when we reduced this to 60000, the problem was 
addressed.

I wonder if raising the kva space would address this (ie be able to
have that high (or even higher) nmbclusters) while not causing the
machine to panic when it's doing things like a find.
