Funny thing is, for 23 days this computer survived a LOT of bashing on its MFS, and was stable. Here's a possibility: run a test system out of memory (and release it of course) including swap (you know swap_pager: out of memory), and see if it's still stable, as I think that may have been the problem. If so, maybe there aren't some memory allocation checks in the MFS code (I'll go through it today) which could have caused a kernel trap but still no panic?
