I'll log a bug once I've finished making sure no-one else has entered the same 
thing.  BTW, I'm pretty sure I've confirmed it as kernel bug and not a 
hardware fault.  I installed the 2.6.12 amd64-k8 kernel last night and wrote 
a script to load every memory hog I can (right up to chewing about 500MB of 
swap), then kill them, then reload them etc.

Ran for almost 9 hours without a single problem on the 2.6.12 kernel.  Ran for 
about 45 seconds on the 2.6.10-5 amd65-k8 kernel before panicing.

Just thought I'd post this as a work-around in case anyone else is having a 
problem.  FYI the 2.6.12 kernel in the breezy repositories is compiled with 
gcc-3.4 so if you're running the NVidia drivers that *DON'T* come with 
Ubuntu/Kubuntu, you'll need to "sudo apt-get install gcc-3.4" then 
"CC=/usr/bin/gcc-3.4 ; export CC" before running the NVidia installer.

Usual disclaimers apply.

Cheers,

James
