However, I haven't experienced any such problem with the various G5s we have here (and no other G5 user reported such a problem). So it would be useful if you could provide a bit more informations here though. For example, what exact G5 model is this, do you have any 3rd party PCI card, what video card are you using, can you reproduce the crash in console mode, that sort of thing ... Also, did you run a memtest equivalent on the machine ? Finally, it would be useful if you could point out which specific patch or bk snapshot, or at least -mm rev. introduced the bug. As I said previously, you are the only one to report that and none of the G5s here is showing such a problem.
