That just means it's dumping core. You need to look a little
deeper for why it's doing so.

In this case, it's smashing its own stack while doing a bcopy()
(or some related function). If that's not consistent, this
probably *is* a hardware problem. If it's dependable, then maybe
not. Try to track down commonalities in what the system is doing
when it panics. If possible.
