I was connected to our school's PPP dialup when I hit the end of my login time, when the server (also a Linux box) automatically logs me off. When it disconnected, instead of the usual messages, I got this:

This has been run through ksymoops, as you can see. This is on 2.0.29 with the pre-2.0.30 patch and the pentium memcpy patch. It has NEVER done this before, and the system continued on just fine. If you need more info, let me know.
