Read the FAQ posting for this group.  If you don't have one sitting around,
let me know & I will send it to you.

I would *guess* that they are un-related.  What is happening is that your
system is panicing and dumping core.  You could examine the core image
using crash(8) or install the kernel debugger and use it to figure out
what is going on (i.e. what is causing the panic).
