  sounds potentially normal. One of the program asked to watch a 
resource which is constantly changing. After a while gam_server detects the
flood of event and switch back to polling. Don't ask for kernel monitoring
of resources which change constantly, the kernel will just by default send
you a continuous stream of change notification events. If it's a different
scenario, then nothing in your mail allowed to guess what it might be.
