Subject2.3.41 kmalloc error
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

and then dmesg was spewing:

kmalloc: Size (33554432) too large
kmalloc: Size (33554432) too large
kmalloc: Size (33554432) too large
kmalloc: Size (33554432) too large
kmalloc: Size (33554432) too large
kmalloc: Size (33554432) too large
kmalloc: Size (33554432) too large

--- snip ---

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.
