I can confirm this bug on Kubuntu/Ubuntu (Feisty). My machine is an ACER 1522 notebook and has previously run WinXP, SUSE10, 10.1, 10.2 with no problems.
When compiling a large project after maybe 4mins the system shuts down, I have been able to repeat this 5 times in a row before stumbling on this bug report. relevant section from /var/log/messages..
