Understanding kernel events /var/log/messages

hope someone out there can help with this.
Our linix redhat 5.6 server crashed and the last entry in /var/log/message is
:
Jan 7 09:29:08 earpsteporawl01 kernel: gm[29664]: segfault at 000000000000001b rip 000000000824eb89 rsp 00000000ff850e50 error 4
Jan 7 09:29:09 earpsteporawl01 kernel: gm[29667]: segfault at 000000000000001b rip 000000000824eb89 rsp 00000000ffdbc6d0 error 4
Jan 7 09:34:00 earpsteporawl01 syslogd 1.4.1: restart.

There are hundreds of these kernel: gm segfaults and I cannot identify what this is.
