It is definitely not a bug, Stop-A feature is extremely useful for 
debugging stuff. You can turn it on and off using either 
/proc/sys/kernel/stop-a or sysctl variables kernel.stop-a. For example, to 
disable it at boot, you might want to add a line

kernel.stop-a = 0

to your /etc/sysctl.conf file. See man 5 sysctl.conf for details.
