Ohhhh-Kaayyy... I have another data point.

The panic does not occur in single user, but does when the system is running.

Given this box takes approximately four minutes to complete POST to
the point it actually starts to boot anything, and has the primary
copy of quite a lot of data I value, my testing tomorrow is likely to
be a little painful...

Will update when I know more :)
