For the last several days (maybe even a week or longer) I've occasionally 
beeng getting messages like the following on all of my open konsole (all tabs, 
all instances) (both root and user).

I also looked into syslog at 18:18:51, and have quoted that further below.

I see the mention of firefox on one line--is this an indication of a firefox 
problem or crash?  (I get firefox crashes, but ususally not one or two a day 
(more like 2 or 3 a month).

What is a CPU stall?

Can anyone give me some insight into what is going on?
