This appears in the syslog at the time of the crash. My only recourse is to hard power off and reboot. I'm going to revert back to 2.6.30 for the time being.

A crash in the kernel is no user application error.

VMware adds another variable to this problem. Please update to the
latest kernel from unstable and recheck if this is reproducible. Google
does not show further instances with this kernel.
