Be sure the machine is setup to capture a crashdump on panic.
I had a machine that was doing this, and wehn I got it to do proper
crashdumps, I got a good lead on the problem.
in my case, I set aside a raw partition, and setup this in rc.conf:
dumpdev="/dev/rda2s1h" # Device name to crashdump to (if enabled).
Then I symlinked /var/crash to someplace else, because my /var wasn't
too big.
Good Luck.
