Thats interesting to me, I've just recently been working with gfs - and 
using some of the newer kernels dont seem to have any issue of this 
nature. Are you sure its gfs and not gfs2 that you are using ?

Also, where you able to trace the panic's down the gfs code or is there 
something in the supporting cluster code causing issues perhaps ? 
cman/fence/clvm ?
