Bug Description
In Xubuntu 8.04.1 my system keeps completely freezing, apparently randomly, leaving apparently no information except a message like the following in the syslog:
Jul 25 23:44:21 blackbox kernel: [ 1566.411452] Eeek! page_mapcount(page) went negative! (-1)
SYSTEM INFO:
Pentium 4 HT on an Asus P4P800 Deluxe motherboard with an ATI Radeon 9500 AGP graphics card and the restricted ATI driver installed via Envy_NG. I have 3 IDE drives (two attached via the main IDE controllers and one on the VIA VT1640 controller) and an eSATA drive (on one of the onboard SATA controllers), with a mixture of software RAID1 and RAID5 and non-RAID EXT3 and NTFS partitions.
Output of uname -a:
Linux blackbox 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Fri Jul 11 23:41:49 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

It looks like my box is suffering from the same bug, although in Ubuntu 8.04.1 (2.6.24-19). My system also freezes at random apparently, most of the time leaving no messages in the logs whatsoever. However, I found a same 'Eeek' message in the logs very recently:
Aug 12 11:32:30 quadpc kernel: [101268.516775] Eeek! page_mapcount(page) went negative! (-1)
Please see below for some additional information (and messages attached).
