Here's the panic info:

--------------------------------------------
Mounting root from ufs:/dev/da0a

unexpected machine check:

    mces    = 0x1
    vector  = 0x670
    param   = 0xfffffc0000004e10
    pc      = 0xfffffc000072faa8
    ra      = 0xfffffc000072bba4
    curproc = 0xfffffc002e7cc000
        pid = 693, comm = perl5.8.6

panic: machine check
cpuid = 1
boot() called on cpu#0
Uptime: 1m50s
Cannot dump. No dump device defined.
------------------------------------------

The perl script running is my mrtg scripts that start
from rc.d.

Details about the machine checks would be interesting.

Unaligned errors in userland are corrected or the appplication is
terminated, depending on configuration.
Only unaligned faults inside the kernel are fatal.

Hard- and software is possible, but without further details this is
hard to say.
