Right, also running ps has the same effect. But why do these messages
occur?
In both cases your errors are for a long-running kernel process that's
been up since boot. What's the uptime on your box?
Not sure what the uptime was, this box is not in production yet so i
shut it off regularly. I would guess under an hour.
I used to be able to get these predictably on FreeBSD 5, except then it
could actually cause a panic. If you run "top -s 0" (as root) you can
get these errors arriving at a spectacular rate.
