At 41 degrees C reported CPU temperature, I don't think so. Even if this is off by, say, 10 degrees, it's still not a problem. AMD allows 90 degrees for my CPU type (Athlon XP 1700+, Thoroughbred core).
Maybe I should add that "under load" in this case means running OpenGL games using DRI on a Voodoo4 card.

Beats me as to what could be wrong. It's not a memory problem and the CPU does not overheat.
I'll go patch the kernel for my personal use then, but I'm not the only one seeing those messages without any system problems.
