I've had a few apparently random kernel panics of late. I'm running
kernels compiled from NetBSD-current sources. They seem to happen when
I've just switched to a vt or just logged in to a new vt and typed
something in to bash, like 'ls', 'ps', or whatever... But each time I've
had fairly similar output when the kernel panics (I noted down some of
the details...):

Data abort: 'Translation fault (section)' status = 005 address = 0040000c
PC = f00f33c
ldr r3, [r2,#0x000c]
Section fault in SVC mode
vm_fault(f15db600, 400000, 1, 0) -> 1


db> t
_Debugger
_panic
_data_abort_handler
_fdcopy
_fork1
_sys_fork
_syscall


Oh, and they've all seemed to happen when the machine was under fairly
heavy load.
