I have the same problem with r342 with very similar crash messages. I
also tried r306 last night after reading the same message you mention
above and it is working fine. r162 also works fine.

Since some people seem to have no problems with r342 are there some
batches of gumstix with slightly different parts which do not like 
one of the changes between r306 and r342? Or do we all have defective 
memories?

If I have the time I will do a binary search to find the release where
it breaks, but this can take a while ....
