At the moment I don't have the board set up for using kgdb and it's complicated by the fact that we only have one serial console port. But I am looking into setting it up for kgdb now.
As far as stressing the system, it doesn't have enough resources ( disk space ) to be able to compile the kernel, but we did write a simple program that would stress the system by spawning multiple threads, each one performing floating point calculations. With this test, top reported a load average of over 400 and we have seen no failure so far.

Could be a hardware memory glitch. I would use kgdb to put a breakpoint
there and see what the data in memory looks like when this happens --
look for memory corruption, etc.
