I did as well, but then I switched to Linux.  I think in the 15 years or 
so I've been using Linux now, I've seen the kernel panic maybe twice (and 
the second time was trying to reproduce the first time so I could file a 
bug report).

First hit on Google:

That article links to another that says it's an informational message and

Depends on the compiler and the language.  One example of an esoteric 
compiler used by a small group of people doesn't make a 'trend'.

Meh.  I paid something like $250 for the Borland C compiler when I was in 
college (or just before I went to college).  I probably still have it 
somewhere.
