Public bug reported:

On a server machine that runs a pppoe server I have noticed a high load
average on a idle machine (CPU is 90% idle). Looking at kernel logs I
have found following:

Except from unusually high load average I have noticed no other
problems. But some services on a machine do monitor load average and
shut down if it goes too high, so I had to reboot a machine to fix the
issue.

I'll be happy to give any additional information required to fix this
bug.
