OK, this looks really weird.  I looked for reports of similar crashes
and found <http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/11/11/302> which apparently turned
out to be due to a hardware fault.

Could you test Linux 2.6.36 as packaged in experimental?  If that has
the same problem, try running memtest86+ for a while to check whether
this is due to bad RAM.  I suspect it isn't, but we have to check.

Ben.
