I've got a system halt with 2.0.9 after the following message.
I'm not 100% sure whether it's not my processor that's running wild,
but usually I can work several hours without problems, and even
kernel builds work just fine. So maybe the's a little, but rare problem.
If the problem is already known and fixed (I'm running 2.0.12 since that),
please excuse that message, but I'm currently on holiday and not following
the kernel list.
