@Gonzo - As you wrote of a "rock solid" 2.6.35-19-generic kernel in this context, I switched from my recent 2.6.35-19-generic-pae kernel to your non-PAE version, since I don't need PAE anyway. Both kernel taken from the Maverick backports.

Observation:
- 2.6.35-19-generic-pae crashes suddenly with Chrome running, "blinking caps lock syndrome".
- 2.6.35-19-generic took longer to crash with Chrome running, freezes hard, no "caps lock syndrome".

Both versions run stable when not using Chrome.

The machine in question is an IBM Thinkpad T41p with the ath5k driver loaded for the Atheros WiFi.
