It has happend to me a lot when trying to run 3D apps. 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. Larry
