In my case, it was a bad L2 Cache chip.  Try disabling the cache and
trying to duplicate the problem (issue a few buildworld's for instance)
Also check the RAM, DMA Controller Chips, and any adapter cards.  
Without having it cause SIGBUS or SIGSEGV and the occasional panic then
reboot, You should also suspect the Power Supply
