It's a crash deep in memory management for inode storage used by the
ext3 filesystem code. Chances are it's a hardware fault or (small
chance) kernel bug. If Pg could cause a crash like that it'd be a kernel
DoS vulnerability, but I'm much more inclined to suspect the hardware
even without the dodgy history.
