I had the same thing on 7.1-STABLE with sources @2009-03-14 (last
Saturday). The machine had no hardware failures running 6.x...6.4 in 
the last 3 years running about 20..25 Jails.

Therefore I don't think it is a hardware error.

The crash happened during someone recompiling most of his packages in
jail while running cvsup on /usr/ports in another jail. So there was 
pretty much I/O and CPU usage. After crash the geom_mirror was degraded 
on ad4 (ad6 working).

I guess 
  a) the vmcore was successfully written to the SWAP 
  b) geom_mirror is unstable under heavy load, maybe it's the 
     origin of the crash. swap resides on that geom_mirror, too. 

I'm not yet able to get some useful information out of the 230MB vmcore.0
Maybe I may provide useful information about the crash if someone can
tell me about how to get theese from vmcore.0.
