I just had a moderately-loaded mail server / firewall crash running 2.2.15pre14 as well. Unfortunately I was out of the office at the time and the watchdog caught it, so by the time I was able to check on it all that was left was this in syslog:
Mar 16 15:53:38 csl3 kernel: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000004 Mar 16 15:53:38 csl3 kernel: current->tss.cr3 = 031d1000, %cr3 = 031d1000 Mar 16 15:53:38 csl3 kernel: *pde = 00000000
This is one of eight boxes I have running 2.2.15pre14; they're all generally similar in hardware configuration except for one that's a notebook, and they've all been running without visible problems for the past six days except for this one crash.
