I wasn't on at the time and don't have a clue as to what could have caused it, but I'd like to find out. There's nothing special in /var/log/messages (I'm logging syslog messages of type "*.notice;kern.debug;lpr.info;*.crit;*.err;deamon.*" to it) and nothing special in /var/crash. What are some other steps I can take to figure out what may have caused the crash? And no, this is a Pentium II, so it couldn't be the pentium bug. Hopefully! :) Thanks for any help.
