I'm running a computer box that is recently purchased second hand -
new to me, but not new. While running a script that does a disk to
disk copy with some reformatting on a file of a few GB, I got this
burst of lines on all open gnome-terminal windows:
#### start of cut and paste:

The computer is a Dell desktop on which I have loaded Squeeze and
Gnome. I've seen this type of outburst from this computer before, but
haven't had the presence of mind to capture a copy and send it to this
list. The computer is running only a home brew data processing script
in written in Bash and there are several window open to monitor
different aspects of its progress. The script does not crash. It
continues to be possible to interact with it, including, even using
aptitude to install software. What does this outburst mean?
TIA
