The warning messages start about an hour or two after I boot into the 2.6.18
kernel.  I am not doing anything on the machine when it happens.  I don't see
any new processes starting up at that time either.  As soon as I boot back to
2.6.17.13, there are no more problems.  Also, the machine is not running X when
it occurs.
