I don't know what causes this, but I have seen it on one of my boxes
-- the i486 with 8 MB RAM (and 32MB swap).  I haven't seen it on the
AMD Duron (128MB RAM)

How much memory do you have on this K6?

(BTW, good job of including lots of possibly relevant information.
Including the /proc/cpuinfo from my box won't help because it doesn't
say anything -- I don't think the 486 family supports querying)
