My computer crashed w/ this message: "A wait operation, attach process, or yield was attempted from a DPC routine"

Anyway to decipher what that that means?

I was on a Dell Celeron 500 (always on and connected to the internet, acting as a file server) w/ 256MB RAM.
In the background: Zonealarm, NAV, Intel wireless suite (for peer-to-peer 802.11b setup)
At the time, I was just browsing the internet with a few IE windows open.

Anyone know?
