Panic: double fault

[Heinrich Rebehn]

Hi list,
yesterday, my system crashed with the following message:

Apr 15 18:08:18 antsrv1 /kernel:
Apr 15 18:08:18 antsrv1 /kernel: Fatal double fault:
Apr 15 18:08:18 antsrv1 /kernel: eip = 0xc0182522

I had to press the reset button because "sysncing disks" did not complete.

Any ideas, what could have happened? The machine was busy cmpiling 
OpenOffice.
