I see it sometimes on a G5 2x2 w/1.5GB RAM running 10.3.5.  I think it's
happened about 3-5 times total since I got the system last November.  I've
had it happened while crunching video for DVD Studio Pro a couple times, and
the other 2-3 times it's been sitting idle.

I find it *VERY* disturbing.  Basically it seems like the CPU's are running
full out and the fans are trying to keep the system cool.  The one time it
did it with no one around it seemed to have heated the room up by the time I
discovered it.

This is one of reasons I put the G5 to sleep when we're not using it.
