While I do not know about those error messages, I will say this.  2.2.5
had smome kind of weird bug that caused it to freeze, and I was never able
to get a ore dump or kernel panic, nor could I ever find that it occurred
when any kind of activity was being performed.  It would be running
smoothly, then poof! no response. This problem was fixed sometime around
mid-December last year.  I would recommend upgrading to a newer release,
2.2.7 or 2.2.8.
