Maybe this is related with 
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=35461. Although I answered that 
the problem still exists the PR gets closed. Probably because others were 
not able to reproduce this or were not affected.

Another disk related trap 12 problem  is:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=58391

Can you reproduce this?

Does the problem still occur if you remove one of the two Promise controllers?

Probably you should reopen the PR 35461.

Sorry, no real answers...
