Joks,

I had this problem a couple of weeks ago.
I change the following kernel, params and the problem dissapeared:

npty 600
nstrpty 600
nstrtels 600

you can use kmtune to modify theese vakues, then
nake a new kernel using mk_kernel and schedule kernel update with kmupdate.
Then reboot your box at any time (shutdown -r 0)
and your problem should be gone.

good luck

Hi there.
These messages can come up, if somebody does not logout properly, but switches the comp off, finishes the telnet client etc.
You should check you system for remaining processes ( runaways / zombies ).

I agree with Alexander that this can and often is caused by an improper disconnection of a telnet session by an end user. And there could be other reasons too, here is a thread that I hope will help you resolve your problem:
