Subject:   Kernel bug or bad hardware?

I am experiencing infrequent, spontaneous panics of a 4.0-STABLE
machine.  The reboots occur while the system is under light load.

When the panic occurs the following output is generated by a kernel
trap.  I have witnessed this on three occasions.  On the most recent
I bolted to the server and hit PAUSE to preserve the output long
enough to copy it verbatim.

syncing disks...


At this point the machine boots, fsck runs to clean up the disks and
the machine runs normally.  On each occasion the output began with:
`ad0: WRITE command timeout - resetting'.  This makes me think the
problem is not related to faulty memory, but possibly a bad IDE disk
or a kernel bug.  Other than this problem the machine runs perfectly.
