Everybody else is putting their oar in, so here's mine:

I have an SMP box running -STABLE and I'm not seeing anything like this.
Have never had it randomly reboot except when using gkrellmms, and that
was a separate problem (fixed by not running gkrellmms anymore ;)

I can't say that this box is under serious I/O load, but it's constantly
got a load average of 2.00 (setiathome), and I have seen it with a load
of over 30 when doing a make -j16 buildworld.

It does export one filesystem over NFS, but it's not heavily used, and
all the disks are ATA.  Herewith some possibly relevant dmesg messages:

I'm quite happy to test any scenarios that people might suggest, with the
exception of samba.  Also, I'm unlikely to be able to put a heavy load on
the NFS exported filesystem (my other boxes are a 486 and a sparcstation4).
