As I understand it, it's caused by heat build up in the sensor. I notice it when I take a series of shots in quick succession. The first 2 or 3 will be fine, anything after that displays lines, as shown on the "Original Image" of this page:

Noise reduction software like Noise Ninja & Neat Image can help reduce the effect somewhat.
