It is happening randomly. Several times one day, and then can go days without one.

Here is an example of the error log that I get.

Are you running the stock hard drive?

Have you tried running some memory tests / changing the ram?

I am running the stock hard drive. I have reseated the memory hoping that would help. I do not know how to run the memory tests I dont think.

Hmm, are you using any sort of VPN? PPTP, Cisco, IPSEC, anything?

insert the dvd that came with your MBP, reboot the machine and hold down d at startup. This will let you run some hardware tests, including a memory test.

I did that and it said no errors, that all tests were fine.

Open Disk Utility, click your hard drive from the left hand pane, and choose 'Verify Disk'. Let's see if the hard drive is free of errors.

What RAM configuration do you have, is it "balanced" (2X1GB, 2X512MB, etc) ? Are you using any third party RAM ?
