I got this when I woke up this morning. I left my computer at the
console. This happened at 4am, which is usually when the cron jobs
kick in. This info showed up on the screen, but my computer
wouldn't accept anything from the keyboard. I had to hard reboot
it. But this was left in my /var/log/messages:

Anyone have any idea what happened? Showed I report it as a bug?
Thanks,
