OK so far I've run memtest86+ 1.40 from freedos for 8 hrs (v1.70 hung on
startup) - nothing.

Could this corruption be caused by a pci card/driver? I am asking as I
am using a new dvb-t card (asus p7131) and the oops happened after 5 or
6 days of uptime just about a day after watching some movie (very bad
reception/lots of errors). 

However this machine used to have uptimes of months before the dvb card
was in there and the kernel version upgrade (don't know which version
that was...).

Anyway I am not sure if this is reproducible, but I will keep memtest
running today and then proceed as you said...

Thanks,
Soeren
