Kernel crash after a short while: "Bad page state"

[JoeCool]

Binary package hint: uqm

After a short while when running uqm I get this in kern.log:
Mar 6 23:24:08 joe kernel: [ 296.436510] Bad page state in process 'uqm'

and the system dies with blinking CAPS & SCROLL Lock LEDs...

I'm afraid I don't have much more info...

Running:
Ubuntu 8.04.2 (just updated via aptitude)
uqm 0.6.2.dfsg-5ubuntu1
nvidia binary drivers

Hardware should be OK, as everything else including MS Windows and Memtest works fine.

It's reproducible as it crashes every time I try to start it, even in a bare "xinit" session without a windowmanager

Suggest closing this bug as not relevant:
- it is about archaic kernel from 2009
- kernel crashes are always kernel bugs and should be fixed there (even if it happens that some app provokes them more easily than others)
- there were non-free binary nvidia drivers involved in any case
