Extracting a large tar archive or recursively removing a large directory tree will cause the machine to hang for a few secs and then reboot. This has happened with 2.1-R and with all the 2.1-STABLEs that I've used. Any idea where to look? There appears to be nothing syslogged. Would a dump reveal the problem?
