I've seen very similiar behaviour on my machine, a K6-2 with the Diamond Fireport 40 card. My system crashes down whenever I do anything massive. I get errors like:
Jan 24 15:16:21 rincewind kernel: EXT2-fs error (device 08:0e): ext2_free_blocks : Freeing blocks not in datazone - block = 1094978592, count = 1 Jan 24 15:16:21 rincewind kernel: EXT2-fs error (device 08:0e): ext2_free_blocks : Freeing blocks not in datazone - block = 3768038038, count = 1 ... Jan 24 15:18:54 rincewind kernel: attempt to access beyond end of device Jan 24 15:18:54 rincewind kernel: 08:0d: rw=0, want=433866169, limit=1822704 ... Jan 24 15:18:54 rincewind kernel: EXT2-fs error (device 08:0e): ext2_add_entry: bad entry in directory #321615: rec_len % 4 != 0 - offset=0, inode=286331153, re c_len=4369, name_len=3
All this eventually ends in an Opps. Unfortunately, it appears that syslogd is the process that it is Opps'ing in, at least some of the time. I have yet to really trap one of these. I was just about to check the pre9 patch to see what changed when I saw your message. I went straight from pre6 to pre9, so I don't know when the bad behavior comes in.
