hi all

I've got this computer running 2.5.59, and after some time (dunno how long) it
starts getting the load average stably at 1.0 while still being idle. check
below for more info:

tonje:/usr/src/linux# uptime
15:14:20 up 11 days, 4:08, 2 users, load average: 1.00, 1.00, 1.00
tonje:/usr/src/linux# cat /proc/loadavg
1.00 1.00 1.00 1/95 12972

tonje:/usr/src/linux# vmstat 1 5
