reproducible 2.2.10 hang (oops?)

X11 display freezes when writing a particular audio CD.
(and the CD led goes from flashing red to flashing green)

I have burned about 10 disks on this setup. Then I tried to write
a particular set of .wav files, and the system hung (apparantly)
on each of three tries. I can still sucessfully burn a different
set of .wav files. I still have the offending .wav's on hard disk.
If someone can suggest a good experiment, I will perform it.
(eg, if I try it, and switch to the first VC, is there a chance
I will get an oops report ?)

I searched the system log files, but found no information. Examining
two CDs shows that different amounts of data (about 1/2) had been
written at the time of the crash. (After this, I started writing in
dummy mode.)

warning. It may be a hardware problem. After the first crash I noticed
that the CPU fan was dead. I installed a new one. Didn't fix the problem.
Although the CPU may be damaged, everything else seems normal. I doubt the
CPU is damaged. Maybe compiling a kernel would be a good test. I have
another CPU that I can try as well.
This is an AMD K6-I 200MHz .
