As a coincidence (maybe not?) one of the crashes happened when the sysadmin at the server location was switching around ethernet cables and put the server off-line for a while. The crashes never happen under stress tests (make -j64 buildworld) .. only when the system is left alone to do its normal thing (run network services mostly). I'll try to figure out the crash dump stuff, and post a follow up.
