In my experience this probably means that you have some RAM going bad and you only manage to tickle the problem when the machine becomes loaded enough to need that part of the address space.
Reboot with memtest86 (should be on the centos install media) and look for test failures.
JFTR: I chased "random" panics for some time on my Acer AK77-400. Thought bad memory, ran memtest86 and it was confimed... NOT!
Turns out that although the board supports DDR.../333/400 (PCwhatchamacallit/2700/...) and has three slots, there is not enough bandwidth to run @ 400 with all three slots populated. At 333, all memory tested good.
*After* I was made aware of this niggling little inconvenience, I had to make the tough choice between faster or more memory. *sigh*.
I had found a post about it somewhere, but I can't locate it now. I hope this is not your problem... or maybe it is better than bad memory?
