Found the following in my syslog:

Those last three lines are repeated a NUMBER of times before the GPF
(starting around 11 hours ago) and after the GPF. Additionally, the
machine is spawning sendmail processes that don't respond to 'kill -9',
nor do they ever seem to finish.

Please let me know what other information I can supply in order to figure
out what's going on. Thanks!
