Hi!
Recently, the battery of my wireless mouse went empty - not realizing
the problem was realted to the battery, i switched to a text console and
saw the following BUG report from the kernel:

I don't know what triggered it, as it could've been displayed on that terminal for a long time already, and I noticed it only now...

I am running Linux 2.4.17 on a Pentium 3.
