Hi,

Kernel version is: 2.6.31-0.174.rc7.git2.fc12.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Aug 24 
23:25:34 EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux, from F12 rawhide 
repository.

I am not sure what caused this, as it happened over night, and the machine 
was idle. The machine is still up and running, so if you need more 
information about it please let me know and I will try to provide them.

Thank you,
