Panic shut downs started a few days ago

My MacBook has been stable for a year, and suddenly has been having kernel panics and shutting down once or twice a day for the past 5 days... here is the most recent log:

Most kernel panics are caused by third-party (that is, non-Apple) kernel extensions. You have several products installed that include kernel extensions: the Cisco VPN client, VMWare, something from IBM called "Mobile Connect" or the like, and something from Ambrosia Software to do with sound. Any of these could be solely responsible, or it could be a conflict among more than one of them.

Try booting in safe mode (shift key down at startup) which prevents these components from loading. If you can't reproduce the panic in safe mode, then start uninstalling the above items until you find out which one, or which combination of them, is causing it.

If the panic does happen in safe mode, then it's likely to be a hardware fault, such as bad memory.

Thanks for the help. The panics happen when I leave my machine on for an extended period of time, and my TimeMachine tries to run on my networked external hard drive. I ran a disk repair and a portion of the drive was corrupt, which I was able to successfully repair. Then, I got a panic again last night for the first time in days:

Start with anything non-Apple. That will narrow it down considerably. Might do a search using "name of the program + kernel panic" to see if this is causing problems for anyone else. But it may not necessarily be a kext; you also have to take into account what's being identified in the backtrace. This might lead to hardware as a possible cause.
