There was no other indication of (high) activity at that time in any other
logs.  Should I be concerned?

This is a new machine, with CedarTrail Atom D2500 CPU (D2500CC motherboard from
Intel), used as a router.  I haven't seen this message before, and this is the
only "problem report" on this machine.

Thanks,
