Oh good, I thought it was just me. I also got a bunch of these, out of 2.0.31pre10-2, not the final release of 10. I've not seen them in previous versions of pre-31.
This made /dev/tty1 unusable. I couldn't echo to it, although keys typed at the console were echoed. Getty kept respawning & dying... At the time the console crashed, I had just exited emacs.
This may have been preceeded by an oops, but I apparently didn't save the logs from it. I've been working in X (coincidently) since, so I haven't seen the problem again.
