Panic under heavy HTTP load?

Greetings, list!
I've been running FreeBSD/amd64 5.3-STABLE happily for months now, and
haven't had a problem. However, since recently installing gtk-gnutella,
I've been experiencing freezes and lockups. When downloading stuff off
of Gnutella and browsing the web, the system will just lock up and I
will have to do a cold reboot (I hate having to do that). I can't switch
to console to see what (if any) messages pop up, but I did some googling
and came up with this:
http://www.mail-archive.com/freebsd-current@freebsd.org/msg52964.html
Apparently, the kernel paniced under heavy HTTP load, but the thread
died just 5 posts deep with no real resolution.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is my system even panicing (I wouldn't
know, I don't have xconsole visible all the time, and Ctrl-Alt-Fx
doesn't work)? What steps should I take to get to the bottom of this? I
could rebuild with debugging, but where to start?
Thanks in advance!
