I've actually gotten panics from the kernel.  Here's how, in a nutshel:

Server: NetBSD/i386, UFS with softdep:
	NetBSD riff 1.5S NetBSD 1.5S (RIFF) #0: Tue Feb 20 13:15:43 EST 2001
Client: Red Hat Linux (2.2.18)

On the RHL box, I attempt to compile the software I'm working on and before
it gets through many files it panics.  The panic was in a softdep function,
but I don't remember which. (sorry).  Turning off softdep has cured the
panics.
