They may panic or double-panic under heavy load. I only
ever noticed this on my squid-caches (3mbps, 20-25 hits/sec).

Unexpected restarts on those machines are now only seen
rarely after switching to the higher-performance SYM driver.
You can find more at freebsd-questions (until freefall's
disks are happier, you may need to register for GeoCrawler
if you would like to search the archives).
