Perhaps someone can tell me what they mean and whether I need to do anything about them.

The silo 'overflow messages' have been with me since I started running freebsd. My PPP link seems to work well enough though. It would be nice to be rid of the error message, but I figure it's no big deal. The other two error message types are something I've just seen recently. They appear to be related to system load. Netscape aside, things seem stable enough, but perhaps someone can explain what's going on.
