My machine just locked up, /var/log/messages show a single line message

Aug  1 20:01:32 agraham kernel: Eeek! page_mapcount(page) went negative! 
(-1)

uname -a
Linux agraham 2.6.17-1.2157_FC5smp #1 SMP Tue Jul 11 23:24:16 EDT 2006 
i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Also, I've started getting a lot of these "BUG: soft lockup detected on 
CPU#0!".

I've never had problems before and don't believe this to be a hardware 
issue.

The following is the log from a "BUG: soft lockup" I get today.

Any Ideas ?

Albert.
