We recently updated one of our dual Opteron systems (w/ 4GB RAM) from
5.5 to 6.2 (amd64 wipe and reinstalled) and about once a week, it panics
with the below message:

I do have a dump, and can make that available if need be.  Has anyone
encountered this recently and can shed any light on what might be
causing this?

Best Wishes - Peter
