Then today I got some "Oops" messages running BitchX (which of course had been working before, and worked again after I restarted). So I ran ksymoops on the kernel log in /var/log (I can't remember what it is called, /var/kern.log I think). This showed that I actually got an Oops yesterday that I didn't notice.

the same kernel that produced the oops output, aren't you? Did ksymoops
print any backtraces?
