Package: linux-image-2.6.18-3-k7 Version: 2.6.18-8 Severity: normal I received a rather severe looking kernel BUG in my syslog after playing UT2004. The gaming session ended around the time the BUG appeared in the syslog, with the game locking up completely, freezing in place. I was able to successfully restart X.org with A-C-Bksp without any apparent ill effects to the system.
