Well, you don't see this group full of such reports, do you?  ;-)

No, seriously, it is really hard to tell without a scene, but could it be
that you are testing with some glass objects, low adc_bailout, high
radiosity recursion level, or something similar?  If so try to increase the
max_intersections global setting.

Or did you overclock your system and/or memory?  Or do you have an unuaual
amount of memory banks in use, i.e. all banks with double-sided DIMM modules
(that is with chips on both sides of the modules)?  Do you have occasional
8every day or two) crashes with other programs as well?  In that case, clock
your system to a normal rate, make sure the RAM settings are conservative,
and if you have all banks full, remove one module.
