4.11 panic every 23 hours 55 minutes or so

One of the weirder things I've seen in a while here...
OS: FreeBSD 4.11 (yeah I know, old, but generally stable)
CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.00GHz
real memory = 536608768 (524032K bytes)
Hds: IDE
Problem: Ever since a suspitious power outage (I say suspitious
because we think a surge was also involved), this box has been
exhibiting kernel panics about every 23 hours 55 minutes, give or
take about 4 minutes either way. Obviously hardware is suspect,
and hopefully in line for upgrade; but as FreeBSD has always proven
so stable for me, I'm curious what on earth could cause this sort
of regular panic?
It's not time of day; if I reboot at 2:00 AM, 3:55 PM, or any other
time, it's 23:55 or so later I get a panic, whenever that may be.
I think this rules out cron jobs, external attacks, and load-based
issues.
I'll provide the latest two panic logs below, followed by a few
rounds of output from `top -Sd1000', which is `top' with system
processes shown and dumb-terminal output, logged via ssh onto another
system so I could see the last report before the panic. I have a
longer `top' log but I'll send that only on request to avoid an
even huger post. Curiously, this is one of the few times the uptime
went past 24 hours, and also shows the current process as something
other than Idle. I wonder if running `top' actually changed the
results.
Any info would be most welcome. Please Cc me on responses.
