I'm using kernel rev 2.1.76 with Redhat 5.0, and admittedly am having
some hardware-related problems (power cables not fully attaching to
drives 100%) which might be part of the problem. Anyway, early this
morning I see the following snippet in my /var/log/messages file:

Apr 4 09:01:02 belvdere kernel: 1facf8)
Apr 4 09:01:10 belvdere last message repeated 13 times
Apr 4 09:01:10 belvdere PAM_pwdb[15302]: (su) session closed for user news
Apr 4 09:01:11 belvdere kernel: 1facf8)
Apr 4 09:01:42 belvdere last message repeated 72 times
Apr 4 09:02:43 belvdere last message repeated 165 times
Apr 4 09:03:44 belvdere last message repeated 160 times
Apr 4 09:04:45 belvdere last message repeated 150 times
Apr 4 09:05:45 belvdere last message repeated 123 times
Apr 4 09:06:45 belvdere last message repeated 148 times

I don't remember this 1facf8 happening before. Is it an address, or
something else?

Additionally, load is fairly high (3.7+) and syslogd/klogd are eating up
a good percentage of the cpu, as is nmbd, which is eating up 8 megs+ of
RAM. The latter has happened once or twice before; I'll go ahead and
restart it.
