Hmmm .... I've seen such messages on 2.0.29 systems too (under high load once
a day, ... with 2.0.30 all two hours) ... but never with pre-patch-2.0.31-2 +
the last patch I've send.

Do you have more information about your system? Are there more patches
included? What's about your hardware? Do you have seen such messages with
2.0.29 often?
