See this web page which has a full description of the problem: <http://www.brendangregg.com/blog/2014-05-23/osx-10.9.3-is-toxic.html>.  The workaround of turning off layers acceleration fixed the kernel panic.

Here are the STR that are suggested there:

"For me, the easiest way to duplicate the panic was to run a youtube video full screen in Firefox, then plug in a remote display, and close the laptop lid. A few cycles of that usually led to the same type of panic I was hitting earlier. And with hardware acceleration disabled, it worked fine."

What is a "remote display"? Does he mean "external display"?
