I did. The weirdest bug ever. Turns out it was the atheros card fault. The
machine was more or less stable with a ping running in the background.
Otherwise, it would crash - several times a day with 32 bit userland
binaries, once every 2 days with 64 bit userland binaries. Like you, no log
message - regardless of what log system I used, or even remote logging.

I checked so many things it took me several month to figure it out -- and
since none of the recommended atheros kernel options helped,  I could fix
that only by replacing the card with a apple branded atheros - ar9380 if I
remember correctly.

Try to remove all tthe ath9k modules and use your computer as you normally
do. See if you have any crash.

BTW I was also having opengl related freezes (100% reproductible with
xlock), fixed by adding NoDRI to xorg.conf
