John,

You suspicions were right on. We replaced the memory in the server and the errors went away and the system is finally stable.

Thanks,
Mike

The system has recently been reloaded with CentOS 5.2 x86_64 and it has 8GB RAM and 8 CPU @ 2.80GHz. I have tested various versions of spacewalk on a couple of different hardware platforms (with much lesser specs), and I have not seen these problems. Anyone have similar issues?

I'd try running memtest on that system, as I'd be suspicious of the hardware.
