Hi our server crashed today, and the screen was full with the following.

panic: pool_get: ..aà.>_àb.Báb.=áb.Bá: crossed hard limit
panic: pool_get: ..aà.>_àb.Báb.=áb.Bá: crossed hard limit
panic: pool_get: ..aà.>_àb.Báb.=áb.Bá: crossed hard limit
panic: pool_get: ..aà.>_àb.Báb.=áb.Bá: crossed hard limit

Can somebody help me out here ?
I whould like to know what might have caused this crash.
A reboot did the trick, but still.

(It's a 3.1 box wich i was planning to upgrade when my
(3.5 cd's will arrive, until then it needs to run though :)

Googeling lead me to the kernel source file containing the string
( subr_pool.c ) That is where i became lost.

Thanks.
Bas
