Can we please have the full Ooops trace? Depending on the output, you might wish to file a bug report.
The above lines were sent to all logged-in terminals, and are the complete output on these terminals. In /var/log/messages, I see at the same time:

(The [virtual] machine had been running for a few days when this occurred)
What might these indicate?
The kernel oopsed. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_oops
(Debian 4.0 Etch, regularly updated, running in VirtualBox on a Vista system).
