G,

To be fair, I am sure much more of that margin debt this time around is from those short the market.

Edit: I wanted to be sure that short sales counted as part of the margin debt before posting.....here is my source:

blonnet.com

If the investor gets a margin call, he will be required to bring in additional funds before a set time/date. If the security prices continue to fall and the equity in the account drops further, the broker may sell the investor out even without waiting till given time/date. Short sale through a margin account also works in the similar manner.
