Comment 3 for bug 740814

I cam to launchpad to report a kernel crash with hfsplus also.

I was playing music in Rhythmbox from a file on an external USB HFS+ partition, and suddenly my X session vanished and I was looking at a console window with some debug/error text messages.
A few seconds later, my computer spontaneously rebooted.

I don't know if my issue is related, but here is a relevant excerpt from /var/log/syslog:
