NASTY problem....

[Jamin Philip Gray <jgray writeme com>]

I've been experiencing a really nasty problem lately.  It *seems* to be
when I use grip to rip mp3's from a CD, though I don't see how that could
really be the cause.  This may not be the appropriate list to post to, it
may be a kernel issue.  But here goes.  

I'll be going along fine, ripping mp3's.  Then after a few tracks (maybe 2)
I'll pull up a terminal.  The odd thing is I'll get a syntax error.  It
varies as to which syntax error I get, but usually something about bad
syntax for if statement or something.  Then occasionally an Eterm will just
die.  Then grip will segfault.  Then after a while my system will hang
completely.  The keyboard is locked...If I hurry i can telnet or ssh into
the system from a machine on the local network...but if I don't act fast,
the computer will completely lock.  

Here is the message I get: 

#unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 06672000

and another time in my /var/log/messages I read after the crash:

.....

Any clue??  If this is a kernel issue, how do I go about reporting it?  

Thanks,
