AFAIR (+ some quick Googling), this is related to a problem in kernel.
You may need to update to a newer Fedora release since FC4 is not
supported anymore :(.

Even if you report to LKML, they will probably suggest you using a newer
kernel. However, I think system will not let you compile a new kernel
and panic again during a high load... So...

If you have a free space, install a newer Fedora release on this system,
mount the existing $PGDATA and try if this fixes the problem...
