error message in log

I am getting the following error message on our 10700 router:

%SYS-2-MALLOCFAIL: Memory allocation of 276 bytes failed from 0x50314770, alignment 32
Pool: I/O  Free: 60224  Cause: Memory fragmentation
Alternate Pool: None  Free: 0  Cause: No Alternate pool

-Process= "Net Background", ipl= 0, pid= 27
-Traceback= 5035CEB8 5035E8C0 50314778 50314B00 5031510C 50013A0C 500427C0 5032B2B0 5032B578

I've read that this could be a bug or I just need to update the IOS on this router.  Any advice?  System image file is "flash:c10700-p-mz.120-30.S.bin"

Thanks in advance.

Reloading the router could also solve the issue, but if the you notice the message again, you may need to upgrade IOS or replace the router.

Thanks for the assistance.  I'll upgrade the IOS and reload the router.  Hopefully this will take care of the issue.
