Subject: kernel page fault trap

Can someone interpret for me please.  One of my machines, running 2.0
GENERIC, has started to misbehave.   Sometimes it freezes when running
X.   Sometimes it throws an error during the boot process, of which
this is an example:

kernel: page fault trap, code=0
Stopped at netbsd:Xdoreti+ox8a: mov0(%esp),%gs

If it boots successfully, we don't seem to hit errors unless we run X.

I have next to no experience of such errors in 25 years of running
Unix systems; my initial guess is there may be a fault in physical
memory.

Any suggestions?
