This is kinkd of iteresting? My Debian "woody" locked up tighter
than a drum while connected to my ISP, and I  had to power cycle it?

Debug and syslog  had this in it:

Any ideas what this means, and where else can I look pin point the cause.

Looks like someone may have tried to buffer overflow your box.
