no vm-86: BAD

After a lockup and spontaneous reboot, I found this in my syslog:

Aug 1 19:04:54 xanadu kernel: no vm86_info: BAD

what does that mean?

Can it be due to my recently having had to share a PCI interrupt between
my network card and my video card (had to enable another serial port for
my Pilot :) )?

I've had a couple lockups in the last few days, since this interrupt
problem. I'm running a UP kernel 2.1.111 on a 430VX board with a Cyrix
6x86, all of my system is on a WDC 24300L IDE drive (hdc) but I also
have an Adaptec 2940UW and SCSI code compiled in. Ethernet is 3c905.

Lockups only seem to happen in X when there is heavy disk activity (eg
untarring sources).
