I occasionally get the following messages in my syslog file:

This happens sometimes when I dial-up to the internet using ISDN/ipppd
and run fetchmail to exchange email. The fetchmail process will
then do nothing and has to be killed. A retry of fetchmail will usually
work in this situation.
Linux-2.1.[78] SMP, dual P2, NMI-oopser.2.1.96-C.gz, mtrr-patch-v1.14.gz,
ISDN, ethernet 3c905, fetchmail-4.3.7, egcs-1.0.2.
Thanks for the report, we're looking at it, this is the first report
of this kind we've ever heard of.
Please, and I know it sounds senseless and a waste of time, but please
try to reproduce this problem _without_ all the extra kernel patches
you have installed on your system. This narrows things down such that
we know it's a problem in the networking code, and not a bug showing
up as a side effect of another kernel patch you have installed.
Later,
