Pressing play in Keynote randomly causes the MacBook to reboot.

As Keynote seems to be the catalyst I've posted the issue here as well: http://forums.macnn.com/82/applicati...ook-to-reboot/

In my view this is a hardware issue, though. I know enough about unix programming to know that an application like Keynote should have absolutely no effect on the core of OSX, such that simply switching screen resolutions to preview a slideshow should cause the system to immediately crash and reboot and leave no record behind or clue to trace in Console.
