This means the machine is trying to reboot for some reason.  Typically,
its due to a panic.  You should get a lot more output with a message and a
traceback, or if you have ddb compiled in, a db> prompt.

If you aren't getting anything, try setting up serial console and log to
another machine.

Random panics are generally caused by bad memory, CPU cache, anod other
hardware issues.
