Check your memory!  Search for memtest86 http://www.memtest86.com, it
installs onto a floppy as a bootable utility to check your computer's
memory.

I'd suspect a hardware problem first.  I've found the 2.4.18 kernel to
be very stable.  The only time I've ever had problems with Linux 
crashing (not just apps, but the whole system), was with bad memory.
