I'm not sure. I'm running STABLE and I had no panics after the branch has=
 changed to RC2. It seems that my panics are not frequent as yours.
Anyway my box freezed a couple of times after last newvers.sh and the sym=
ptoms looked like the same, with messages about acd0. I was able to ping =
it but it won't let me ssh in, like it was using all the cpus.

About kgdb...
I never used freebsd-update, so sorry if I'm saying something stupid, but=
 could it be the case that the kernel has been built without debugging sy=
mbols or something like that? Does freebsd-update provide a kernel.debug?=

I've seen that you are not using shiny quad-core, but could you try build=
ing a kernel by yourself? I think that you could do it using a different,=
 more powerful, freebsd box if you have it, or even on qemu. I could help=
 if you wish.
