[lug] Umm...is this bad?

[D. Stimits]

I'm not surprised that it was from a screen saver. It seems that most of
the crashes that occur just sitting there are from this. I have also had
screen saver dumps. Most of them are the OpenGL/Mesa savers, probably
because it is using hardware accel and errors hurt the most there. But
FYI, even if an Oops doesn't kill the system, it is a "bad thing". You
might find who wrote the particular saver and arrange to send the core
file, depending on how much trouble you are willing to go through.
