They can be caused when the system tries top bring up the little
helpfull requesters (Like diskfull, writeprocteced, disk trashed, etc...) but
there is not enough free memory to open the window and stuff it with
a requester. If this happens, a greenguru pops up with the text in it
that would have been in the requester.

This also happens under AmigaOS < 2.0, but the thing is always red, even
if it won't mean a reboot.

For you programmer types, AutoRequest() does this I believe.
