OK, My partner has experienced another crash (actually, 2). She has been using her machine as normal since my last update, so this is actually a very long time between symptoms. By the way, I had limited success with the 2.6.25 kernel (her hardware is picky...), so she's still running 8.04's default kernel.
First crash:
Her only report is that she was in Synaptic Package Manager when it crashed. I will try to get details as to what she was installing, when (in the process) it crashed, and what other applications she had open at the time.
Second crash:
"It crashed again. You can tell by the time stamps of this email how soon after the fact it crashed. This time I was in a terminal and was able to halt and reset nicely. I had no mouse control." Again, I will try to get more relevant details.

I'm attaching some logs for each crash.
What a frustrating bug.
