I get these all the time when my computer's internal temp gets too hot (10.2.8 & 10.3). Never happened with my 400MHz CPU but it happens every 5 or 10 minutes with my 800MHz G4. Its a "natural" error (if there is such a thing) that is caused by a bug in MESH. You can ignore the error but you should make sure you aren't cooking your computer. I believe it just causes a slight drop in performance for the time the error happens though I can't be sure. What CPU do you have?
I get these regularly in 10.3 on my 9600. It only has a G3/300 in it. I don't use the side door fan tho (noise issue).

Mark,
I've also got a G3/300 in my 9600. Sonnet version
Consider where the processor sits in relation to all other PCI boards - on top - great place for heat!!!
I had Radeon 7000, TV Tuner, USB/Firwire, SCSI, 10/100 NIC in mine and was having problems with processor getting too hot. Various software reporting up to 50+ degrees C. Too hot in my opinion. I bought a small CPU fan and "screwed" in to top of CPU heat sink and now CPU runs much cooler. As a result I do not get random freezes I used to get (this box now only runs OS9 for localtalk bridge and SCSI Zip).
So as with any electronics it is vital it's kept as cool as possible, most failures of electronic components is due to heat - why else do you see enormous heat sinks in PCs and multiple fans, warnings in manuals to keep ventilation holes clear? Heck my G5 has got 8 Fans (it's only a Single 1.8 - should hear how noisy that is in firewire disk target mode) My advice would be to use a side case fan but investigate one that is quieter to meet you requirements, more so if you box is heavily stacked with PCI cards, RAM, harddrives (particularly if you have one or two on bottom plastic sled in base of case) and optical drives. Or take a leaf out of Apples book and build a variable fan with heat sensor that varies speed with heat increase. Or use slower/quieter fans but more of them.
Cheers
