My computer has only 2CPU's but I use it as a server for tests. It runs
many services
(MAIL,HTTP,NEWS,SAMBA,NETATALK) and I compile programs on this computer.
The message only appeard three times on the 24th and thats it. I have no
clue why it stoped. I rebooted
the server 5 hours after that message
apeard the third time. If I would not have checked the error logs I don't
think I would have noticed the error.
