perhaps a bug in 2.4.17-pre2??

[Diego Calleja <grundig@teleline.es>]

Well, I was writing a form in Opera browser(6.0TP1, a beta release), in the

spanish clone of slashdot.org (barrapunto.org)
when suddenly the window dissapeared, and when i looked into syslog, it
said 
this:

I don't know if this is because due to Opera, or it's the kernel itself. So

if this mail should not be in this mailing list, please ignore. 

(I'm running 2.4.17-pre2 in a cyrix 6x86MX 200Mhz 32MB machine, motherboard
is a MSI-5146 with a SiS 5571 Trinity chipset, gcc version 2.95.4)

This is the second time I send this message, but i've not seen it in the
list.....so please forgive me if you see it twice
