Hi,

I have FreeBSD6.1-p5 (PAE+SMP+COMPAT_LINUX+LINPROCFS) system running  
that is producing a lot of guberish in /var/log/messages through  
syslog (about 100-1000 bytes per second), I give example below.  Any  
ideas on this are welcome, especially any hints on diagnostics...

The giberish started 11:30 local time and still (15:46) continues...

Here is some example giberish:
