I just recieved these strange messages from the kernel:

Apr 14 14:16:54 mtw kernel: kmalloc of too large a block (825110829 bytes).
Apr 14 14:16:55 mtw kernel: kmalloc of too large a block (825110829 bytes).
Apr 14 14:19:51 mtw kernel: kmalloc of too large a block (1330927439 bytes).
Apr 14 14:20:25 mtw last message repeated 6 times
Apr 14 14:21:00 mtw last message repeated 4 times

It happened while downloading a file in X. What does this mean? Should
I be worried about it?

I'm running 1.3.88
gcc 2.7.0, libc 5.0.9
ppp-2.2.0f
486-DX266 w/ 16M RAM
XFree 3.1.2

Thanks,

Matthew
