this one should be considered harmless in this context, try to find out which kernel function in your kernel uses up too much stack space. [i've sent a script to linux-kernel a few months ago that does this automatically]
[or if it happens repeatedly and you cant find out why it happens, try the kernel stack overflow detector patch]
