As requested inworld here's some of the details of my kernel that was crashing:
Fedora core 6
nvidia gefore 6100
linux 2.6.22 from kernel.org
in menuconfig:
 kernel hacking > use 4kb for kernel stacks instead of 8kb

Other OpenGL apps of various varieties run fine, SL crashes the whole
system and causes it to become completely unresponsive to btoh local
console and network. Video output gets corrupted and my mplayer
instance in the background sounds like a broken record. Only solution
is a hard reboot.

This kind of hard crash in linux is something i've not seen since back
in the late 90s and appears quite rare (my configuration as described
above would be quite rare however). I would not want to put in the
time to investigate this myself as the problem has been resolved with
an update, but would be interested if others have noticed a similar
problem.
