Strange error / warning message shortly after bootup

(Re-posted ... with some new information ... because I previously posted it as a "reply" to the wrong thread, sorry...)

Shortly after booting up, I get (on the root console and in dmesg):

BUG: warning at kernel/softirq.c:138/local_bh_enable() (Tainted: P      )

  =======================

Any idea what that's all about?

I get it once and then everything seems fine.

I have found some more information about this in google, and what seems to be happening is that local_bh_enable() attempts to do unfriendly things with interrupts (not sure exactly what)... I'm wondering if this error leaves the system in any kind of an unstable state forevermore...

Platform: Fedora 7 as "guest" OS on VMware 6.00 on Windows XP host, 256 MB
RAM (1GB RAM on host, 256 MB allocated to guest OS, also tried it with 512
MB allocated to guest with same result) (this has all been rock solid with FC6)
