I apologize for posting this if this is something "normal". But i noticed strange behaviour in 2.4.13
Machine: intel PIII 500Mhz, 256Mb RAM kernel 2.4.13
I'm using linux almost 5 years from now, and I never seen such weird thing. Machine is up 2-3 days after compiling kernel, and all was OK but now I see ... this:

Is this behaviour normal? Log files and syslog are not reporting anything about that.
