[cobalt-developers] unfamiliar error message in /var/log/messages

[Albert Croft <acroft@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I found the following error message on a server I work with today in
/var/log/messages while trying to determine what caused it to stop
responding. The machine is running a 2.2.13C kernel, and I am trying to
determine if the likely cause was a physical memory problem, or simply a
lack of memory or other software problem. The message, which appeared
numerous times, was:

kernel: kmem_alloc: Bad slab magic (corrupt) (name=buffer_head)

Anyone familiar with it?
