[ale] Dazed and confused, but trying to continue

[Jim Popovitch]

Thanks Dow,

I had seen one of those posts earlier.  It's a strange error/situation, 
esp in my case as their is no power-saving features enabled.  That 
system is isolated in a datacenter downtown.  It hasn't been rebooted in 
two weeks, and the case hasn't been opened in 3 years.  Apps on the box 
remained working, there was no cores or other memory related issues. 
Seems to me an error like that could include a bit more hint as to what 
it saw/felt that caused it to print that text.
