I have seen a Kernal Panic exactly twice in my experience with OSX - One was with a piece of software (actually a game) that the developer acknowleded was their own coding error.

Errr, not to discount your report too much here, but userland software should never cause a kernel panic. There are plenty of ways to cause one, accidentally or intentionally, but the only way a *game* could cause one is if there's a hole in the OS, no matter how bad their coding is.

Wrong again. The developer directly admitted a bit of code that was a direct conflict with OSX (I believe it was related to QuickTime).
