friday 13 bug?

Kernel 2.4.23 on redhat 8.0Please cc any response from
linux kernel list.  TIA.

On or about 7:50am Friday 13 2004 my postgresql server
breaks down.  I can ssh and use "top" and "ps" but
postgresql stops accepting connection.  A small perl
script that logs system load average also hangs.  I
cannot "kill -9" any hang processes including
postgreqsql postmaster process.

I then check dmesg and found error message that I copy
and paste at the bottom.

I finally issued reboot but reboot also didn't work
and I had to push the reset button.

AMD XP 2500+ with 1.5GB Memory.  Postgresql data lives
on a software raid 1 device.

Kernel 2.4.23 on redhat 8.0

Postgresql 7.4

The last time server was rebooted was about 60 days
ago when I upgraded the kernel

Can someone suggest anything to help me avoid this
type of breakdown?  I tried to post the message
yesterday but postgresql list wasn't responding at all
to subscription request.
