The following three messages showed up on my console:

Data modified on freelist: word 5 of object 0xc093a180 size 84 previous type tem
p (0xc0a3b800 != 0xdeadbeef)
Data modified on freelist: word 5 of object 0xc0a37d00 size 84 previous type tem
p (0xc0a3b480 != 0xdeadbeef)
Data modified on freelist: word 5 of object 0xc0a37e80 size 84 previous type tem
p (0xc0a37480 != 0xdeadbeef)

There's no time stamp (and why not?), but it was after 5 December.  The
machine is running 1.5.2, and has been up for 13 days.

What is going on?  Is there something to worry about?
