While sitting in X downloading an ISO of Slackware and listening to MP3s, CPU usage on both of my processors spiked to 100% and stayed there. Curious, I poked around with top and dmesg and found:
1:51pm up 20:00, 9 users, load average: 2.52, 1.17, 0.56 69 processes: 66 sleeping, 3 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped CPU states: 124.4% user, 75.3% system, 0.0% nice, 0.9% idle CPU0 states: 62.2% user, 37.2% system, 0.0% nice, 0.0% idle CPU1 states: 62.0% user, 37.4% system, 0.0% nice, 0.0% idle Mem: 126404K av, 120160K used, 6244K free, 0K shrd, 552K buff Swap: 128516K av, 1392K used, 127124K free 38296K cached

and then dmesg was spewing:

over and over and over and over and over and over.
It killed my PPP connection (I'm writing this off-line). Surprisingly everything is still functioning normally. System rundown:
2.3.41, binutils 2.9.5.0.22, X 3.3.6 SVGA Abit BP6 w/ 2 x Celeron 400 (not overclocked) 2940UW, Quantum 3.2GB, Quantum 6.4GB, Toshiba 12X, Conner 3GB tape WinTV stereo card, AWE64, Sportster v.90
I guess I'll reboot now and see if that doesn't fix it.
