Kernel error



Hey all,
I just noticed the following message in my kernel.log as my system seamed
to hang for about 20-25 seconds. The system at the time was resting idle
with a load of 0.6 avg.:

	kernel: stuck on TLB IPI wait (CPU#1)

Can anyone explain what this error is? I've checked Google and some list
archives but have found nothing which would match my system. Most postings
I've read have to do with faster PII and PIII systems running faster than
the SCSI controllers.

I've been running this system mostly ASIS since 1997 without any problems
so I'm kinda stumped as why I've just received such a message. The system
is used primarily as a mail/web server for personal use and typically has
a load of < 1.0 avg. 

Any explaination to what this message means or why it decided to suddenly
showup after 3 years would be greatly appreciated.

Here is my system:
  Linux mail 2.2.5 #7 SMP Sun Mar 19 15:37:00 EST 2000 i586 unknown
  Dual Intel P200 (each with own fan)
  Tyan Tomcat III Mother Board
  300 Watt power supply in full tower (w/2 Large Exhaust Fans)
  128mg ram
  13gig IDE hard drive
  SB16 sound card
  Matrix Mill 4mg Video card (one of the originals :-)
  BusLogic SCSI card for tape unit
  Archive Python 2/4gig SCSI Tape Drive
  PCI NE2000 Network Card

Thanks
	-Rob
