Public bug reported: This appears to be the same as a bug reported on Debian http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=697139 (same line of code) but this report may provide extra information as the stack trace is somewhat different and this is on a 64-bit architecture, whereas that was on a 32-bit machine.
$ uname -a Linux nova 3.2.0-35-generic #55-Ubuntu SMP Wed Dec 5 17:42:16 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS Release: 12.04 $ cat /etc/issue /proc/version_signature /proc/version Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS \n \l Ubuntu 3.2.0-35.55-generic 3.2.34 Linux version 3.2.0-35-generic (buildd@allspice) (gcc version 4.6.3 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) ) #55-Ubuntu SMP Wed Dec 5 17:42:16 UTC 2012 The system has 2Gb of RAM, and 2*1Gb swap partitions. A typical memory status snapshot with 'free(1)' might show: $ free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 2051484 1978080 73404 0 12864 238292 -/+ buffers/cache: 1726924 324560 Swap: 2054264 427524 1626740 I suspect that the system was low on free RAM at the time of the crash, but had probably used no more than 40% of the total swap space. There's no useful information in dmesg or any of the files in /var/log, but I've attached a photo of the crash screen.
