Unfortunately no, it just happens from time to time.

Pentium III 500Mhz (yes, I know it sucks)

I am running now (installed yesterday) kernel-image-2.4.26-1-686, 2.4.26-4,
I will send info to the bug if it reproduces and will tag the bug
accordingly (since 2.4.26-4 is in sid, but 2.4.26-2 in sarge).
