There's your problem.  va=0 usually happens when your run out of KVA 
and pmap functions choke (trap 12 panic) when they see va=0 or 
numbers derived from that variable.  It's not nice, but it's what 
happens.  This is the number one problem on systems with 2GB+ of RAM 
(you have 4GB, so you'll run into this a lot).

Try increasing KVA_PAGES in your kernel config and recompiling.  It's 
worked in almost every other case like this where large memory 
configurations are in use.
