Kernel Panic happens due to bug at the kernel level. Normally, even
deeply broken applications should not generate a kernel panic.
Possible causes:
1) Broken network module, which generates an error during unbinding of
tomcat from interface. Unless your interface model is very recent and
kernel module associated with it is indicated 'experimental', should not
happen
2) Broken hardware. A broken network interface could generate unexpected
irq, return values in unexpected range to driver, which could then crash
if such condition was not expected. Also, i'll recommend to check the
most common cause of kernel or random application crash : memory. Run a
memtest86 for a few hours to ensure memory is not broken.

My bet is on network interface, if this happens systematically. Try
unloading network interfaces then start/stop tomcat, it will only attach
to localhost, where no network hardware is involved.
