I periodically get the following oops while playing quake, happens with both
the latest squake and qwcl (quakeworld). I can't really say what causes it
exactly, it doesn't allways happen, but it happens every few days.

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address c0000003
current->tss.cr3 = 011cf000, %cr3 = 011cf000

Aiee, killing interrupt handler

at this point quake seqfaults, pppd stops working, and I have to kill it,
and re-run it, and the screen is left in graphics mode, so I have to run
restoretextmode..

My cpu is a cyrix 6x86 150+ 32 meg ram, 2 ide hard drives. This is my first
bug report, so please let me know if any more information is needed.
