Dmesg's panic reports often list kswap as the crashing process... whenever there is a crash report, of course.
The crashing happens when ripping three DVDs simultaneously, but it has so far not happened when ripping 2 simultaneously.
The latest crash occurred after moving a number of files individually from one hard disk into the trash on KDE 4, in other words when disk use was high. I also managed to consistently crash the computer when running the "iozone" test in Phoronix Test Suite. Disabling swap space seemed to solve the problem for a few days but it is back.
Attached is the dmesg from the last crash. Some programs became unresponsive, with more becoming unresponsive after a few more seconds. Pressing Control-Alt-Backspace froze the machine.
