:that was in my messages log, can anyone explain what this is? is it a
:security hole or something?
:
:The reason Im asking is because my machine reboots after it gets one of
:these every few days and its running FreeBSD 3.1 Release #2
:
:Thanks,
:KJ

    Something in the bowls of the VM system detected an 'impossible' 
    situation.  It's not a security hole or anything... just a kernel
    bug.  If you are running 3.1, it is possible that the bug has already
    been fixed in the current -STABLE track.
