A while back I described some weird kernel oopses I was getting with 
the Red Hat version of 2.4.18; a few people said that it could be due
to Red Hat changes, and that I should try a kernel.org kernel.  Well,
I finally did -- downloaded 2.4.19 from kernel.org yesterday, compiled
and booted it, and today my X server got shot down with a
similar-looking syslog entry (which follows.)

I've checked my RAM with memtest86 3.0 with no errors.

Details on the machine config and the previous crashes I had with 
RH's 2.4.18-3 and 2.4.18-5 are here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=69852

I managed to run "top" on another terminal after X had hung, but 
before it had died (or at least, before the screen cleared) and it
showed:

   10:59pm  up 1 day,  3:22,  1 user,  load average: 3.98, 2.19, 1.45
  78 processes: 68 sleeping, 7 running, 0 zombie, 3 stopped
  CPU states: 16.3% user,  2.1% system,  3.0% nice, 34.8% idle
  Mem:   321588K av,  289888K used,   31700K free,       0K shrd,   15564K buff
  Swap:  369380K av,   11136K used,  358244K free                  223164K cached

so it doesn't look like memory was a problem.

Here's the latest oops.  Any suggestions?

ksymoops 2.4.4 on i686 2.4.19.  Options used
     -V (default)
     -k /proc/ksyms (default)
     -l /proc/modules (default)
     -o /lib/modules/2.4.19/ (default)
     -m /boot/System.map-2.4.19 (default)

Warning: You did not tell me where to find symbol information.  I will
assume that the log matches the kernel and modules that are running
right now and I'll use the default options above for symbol resolution.
If the current kernel and/or modules do not match the log, you can get
more accurate output by telling me the kernel version and where to find
map, modules, ksyms etc.  ksymoops -h explains the options.
