Kernel bug--machine lockup

[jwantz at hpcc.noaa.gov]

Hi,
I came home this afternoon and experienced something that I have never 
seen with linux.  My computer was completely dead, no speech and 
nonresponsive keys.  I thought it was WINDBLOWS!

Here is the pertinent information I obtained when I looked at 
/var/log/messages:

Do you think this is worth passing on to the kernel development team?  I 
am running Redhat 8.0 kernel 2.4.18-14.
