AFAIK, it indicates an error so severe that the kernel has no chance to recover. Examples might be
stack underflow or a page fault while accessing the stack.
Your crashes when running 3D apps is likely a bug in the driver for your graphics adapter. Are you
using a binary-only driver? If so, complain to the manufacturer. If it is an open-source driver,
then a note to the Linux Kernel Mailing List would be appropriate. You should describe your kernel,
configuration, etc. and list the 3D app that causes the problem.
