Another 2.2.5 crash, and it's not X, dammit!

This time, the system spontaneously rebooted, rather than just freezing.
Neither of these things has _ever_ happened to me, as far as I can remember,
while using a finished stable kernel (1.0.9, 1.2.13, 2.0.29+), so I don't
buy the "It's probably X" argument. It's theoretically possible, but not a
reasonable assumption with the current evidence, limited as it is. I'd
sooner believe hardware failure, since that's happened on my system before.
Once again, there was no Oops message written to /var/log/messages.
I guess about the only useful information from this is that 2.2 is not yet
as stable as it will be, and people who need it for high-availability
applications should wait a while longer (or help fix bugs).
