I recently had an interesting problem.. the local terminal on my
Debian/Unstable went blank suddenly, so I headed over to my trusty music
server to see if I could log in remotely and kill off X (which is
usually the cause of problems like this) ..after logging in, I found
that most commands would run alright (sudo, ls, df..) but using kill
would freeze the terminal completely. An inspection of my kernel logs
showed a bunch of these:

I eventually just rebooted the machine. Unfortunately, I have no idea
what triggered the bug. Cron reported that sendmail segfaulted at about
the same time, but I suspect that was only a result of the bug, and not
a cause.

Nice nvidia oops..... Are you using the nvidia binary only kernel
module?
