It basically means the program tried to execute an instruction for the processor (and/or ROM hook?) that doesn't actually exist. You'll occasionally see this if you try to run PPC software on a 68k, though it usually exits more gracefully.
If it does it seemingly at random, it's probably something corrupted would be my guess. Bad prefs or application.
