No, no backtrace available because after an upgrade of the system to
2004.07.27.11.00.00 (earlier today) the panic is gone.

I might have found another slight problem though, but I'm not sure if it's a
fluke or if it's repeatable. I'll let you know next time I take the server
offline. The problem was that some if the gvinum filesystems (all the
striped filesystems, but not the mirrored) did not properly clear the dirty
flag on shutdown. Again, I don't know if this is a real problem. I'll report
back here if it is.
