FWIW, I've seen a very similar problem with the same driver when running OpenBSD (I don't recall if it was 3.2 or something earlier.) Hardware was slightly different - GA-586DX with onboard AIC7880 and me using the wide SCSI connectors for the disks plus narrow for CD, etc.

It happened during the quiet of the night when, I presume, the machine was otherwise idle.

If you can, enable ddb and wait for it to happen again and copy down the stack trace. I didn't scribe down the output I saw, at the time, but from memory the driver was recursively calling itself to deal with a similar problem (SCSI bus had reset.)

But rest assured, you're not the only victim of this "bug".
