Saw that in my Logwatch report this morning. Should I be worried?

Maybe. What's the rest of the error? (It'll be in the log file itself.)

Ah, that one. There's a thread on it elsewhere. It seems to be a kernel bug, and is harmless in practice. I believe setting "vm.min_free_kbytes = 16384" in /etc/sysctl.conf (which essentially does 'echo 16384 > /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes' on boot) will get it to shut up.
