This is a days-old machine with an up-to-date install of 13.04. I'm not able to make this happen at will and as such cannot narrow it down to any particular application or process. Below is the most recent relevant log entries from /var/log/syslog. I'm happy to provide further information but at present I don't understand the situation clearly enough to know what might be useful or relevant. --- Aug 30 11:50:49 swombat kernel: [67837.896357] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000ffc Aug 30 11:50:49 swombat kernel: [67837.896381] IP: [<ffffffff811ac0f0>] __d_lookup_rcu+0x80/0x160 Aug 30 11:50:49 swombat kernel: [67837.896400] PGD 7d9da7067 PUD 7d9f76067 PMD 0 Aug 30 11:50:49 swombat kernel: [67837.896413] Oops: 0000 [#2] SMP Aug 30 11:50:49 swombat kernel: [67837.896423] Modules linked in: snd_hda_codec_realtek snd_hda_codec_hdmi hid_generic usbhid hid rfcomm bnep bluetooth coretemp kvm_intel kvm ghash_clmulni_intel(F) aesni_intel(F) aes_x86_64(F) xts(F) lrw(F) gf128mul(F) ablk_helper(F) cryptd(F) arc4(F) ppdev(F) ath9k ath9k_common ath9k_hw ath snd_seq_midi(F) snd_seq_midi_event(F) mac80211 snd_rawmidi(F) snd_hda_intel cfg80211 snd_hda_codec psmouse(F) snd_hwdep(F) microcode(F) i915 serio_raw(F) snd_pcm(F) lpc_ich snd_seq(F) snd_seq_device(F) video(F) snd_page_alloc(F) drm_kms_helper parport_pc(F) snd_timer(F) mac_hid drm nls_iso8859_1(F) snd(F) i2c_algo_bit soundcore(F) mei lp(F) parport(F) ahci(F) r8169 libahci(F) Aug 30 11:50:49 swombat kernel: [67837.896598] CPU 1 Aug 30 11:50:49 swombat kernel: [67837.896605] Pid: 27640, comm: java Tainted: GF D 3.8.0-29-generic #42-Ubuntu Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
