I've been experiencing the same problem as well. I discovered that the disk on 
which the filesystem was had some bad sectors causing dump -0Lauf to fail while 
taking snapshot causing the system to panic. Running smartctl on the device 
indicated that there were bad sectors 40% within the surface scan being 
performed by SMART. The drive, an 80 GB Maxtor, was replaced with a 250 GB 
Western Digital (for a very good price, so good a price I purchased two of 
them). It was 906 days old, having only been powered off maybe a dozen times 
over the last three years.
