I've received a few crash reports which have a library named cl_kernels loaded multiple times. I've seen this occasionally on my Mac too, an Intel Core i5 MacBook Air running Mac OS X 10.8.1. For example, here's part of a crash report from Mail.app:

Why would a library need to be loaded 4 times in one app? In other crash reports, I've seen it up to 20 times.
The .plist version of the crash report indicates that cl_kernels has attribute is_Apple=NO, but I've seen this on many Macs and I think maybe it *is* an Apple component.
I don't find much information on cl_kernels in an internet search, other than in unexplained crash reports.
Is it possible that cl_kernels spells "trouble"?
