Sometimes, it also crashed when I restarted 'avahi-daemon'.

I've installed pdns and pdns-recursor, but I'm using pdns-recursor
only, and $pdnsd_enable is set to "no". And I'm running this setup since
June, 2007.

No, I've not tried that. But, to me, it looks like filesystem is bad,
and some of the files in use by services like avahi, pdns are corrupt,
so thats why it is crashing. Is there any possiblity like such ?
Anyways, I'll boot with ACPI disabled, or even boot in single-user mode,
and repair my filesystem first.
