That other machine is not compiled with bigmem, I assume.

The smbfs cache code in 2.4.0 doesn't work with bigmem. For now disable bigmem or don't use smbfs, it's oopsing all the time.
Rainer Mager reported the same thing yesterday ("Oops with 4GB memory setting in 2.4.0 stable" if you want to read the thread).
I am currently looking into this ... what kind of server are you connecting to? win2k/NT4/9x? It is easier to test with those than the more exotic OS/2 & NetApp.
