    The double faults aren't helping to debug this. But at first glance it
    kinda looks like some sort of memory corruption.

    Here's the meat of the first trace:

    statclock() doesn't do a whole lot. Line 439 (in RELENG_4 at least) is:

    439 if (--pscnt > 0)
    440 return;

    pscnt is a static local variable. Not likely thats going to fly off into
    space. Please check this on your install. If its the same thing I'd
    start suspecting hardware failure.

    Dumping lists of the generic trap code isn't telling us anything new :)
