You are dying because of a panic, which is good. Unfortunately you are
rebooting immediately after a panic, so that you are not seeing the panic
message. In addition, your stack is trashed, so you don't see where panic
is being called from. I suggest that you compile a kernel with ddb, and
when it panic's you'll see the message in the console, and you'll be able
to print a complete backtrace. My suspicion is that you are running out
of some resource and you need to boost some parameter.
