In /var/adm/messages, I have :

Sep  2 08:32:04 openindiana savecore: [ID 570001 auth.error] reboot 
after panic: rw_enter: bad rwlock, lp=fffffe02cf125ac8 wwwh=c 
thread=fffffe02be180840
Sep  2 08:32:04 openindiana last message repeated 3 times

Maybe this gives a hint ?

Entering an uninitialized semaphore ! only me ?
