We need a web page addressing this, somewhere. :-)

Is this a panic? If so, you should get a crash dump (althugh if
you've really got the debugger compiled in, and it never goes near
it, you've got a serious problem).

If you're getting what appear to be spontaneous reboots, setting
the machine up to use a serial console, and running vixie's rtty
(or anything that does logging) on another machine attached to the
serial port might let you capture some messages that will help you
out.
