Hardware problems.  Well, usually.  It could be memory, it could be
your BIOS settings.

That's the number of outstanding buffers.  Not of relevance.  

Of course, *just theoretically* it could be the result of a damaged
file system, since you were talking about this a while before.  The
only way to check that is to look at the dump.  If it happens in the
same place in the 'make world' (libdriver), that's a possible
indication of file system damage.  But the only way to be sure (or
even remotely sure) is to look at the dump.
