That looks like a standard dump, which DOS programs sometimes give on
segfaulting.
I get something like it during normal operation (without segfault, and
while logged in) by hitting ^-scrolllock.

Yes, that's a trace of what calls what from where, so you can trace the
program and see why it crashed.

Can't page, swap is unmounted.

This is a memory/bios/cpu thing.

Nope, it's a RAM-only soft error.

I'd like to know what md is, too. My guess is it's some overwatch process
that takes over the console etc when nothing else is left.
Ok, now all the machines with garbage-on-halt (does this occur on
reboot as well?) have apm enabled, but no apm in hardware, right? Then
what's probably happening is that the kernel thinks there's apm, attempts
to turn the computer off, hits a bad interrupt/foo, and crashes what
little of the system is left at this point. Ask Linus.
