Oh well, so much for the easy check.

It could be a genuine overheating problem or it could just be a gauge 
indication problem.  I can't count how many times I assumed the worse and only 
after some expensive repairs found out it was an easy problem.  If you have 
one of those infrared thermometers you can verify you have an actual overheat 
problem before you put in a new radiator or change the pump or something 
else expensive.
