You're wrong vinod, the bug _is_ most likely in the 3ware driver.

What happens is that some piece of RAM is passed to free(9) and
some code subsequently writes to it.  We only discover this when
we try to reuse it next time and it doesn't contain the correct
"magic debug pattern".

Please compile your kernel with DIAGNOSTICS to enable the extended
malloc(9) debugging functions.
