I was running a pretty upto date Fedora 8 on x86_64. There was nothing in my /var/log/messages and I could not get the screen to come up before I rebooted the box so I was unable to see any crash messages.

Mine wasn't modded up. And on Debian not Fedora. I admit this could be coincidence, but my box has been running without a problem for over 3 years now. Like yours my screen blanked so no possibility to get a backtrace. But couldn't this be a bug which only occurs under very specific circumstances? Guessing here: but what about NTP updating the system clock at exactly 23:59:60? Actually there are at least 2 “me too”s. Mine wasn’t modded up. And on Debian not Fedora.

Doesn't make a huge amount of sense, as none of the RHEL releases were tickless, and before that the code in question hadn't been changed in forever. Interesting.

Seems a bunch of different people with RHEL-4 and Slackware-12.0 were bitten. No idea how many There is a long list of me-too’s on the Red Hat Enterprise Mailling lists.
