Oil lamp coming on!

Hi,
I have a 1999 9-3SE and recently had the typical blown head gasket issue. I got that repaired, and while the car seems to run fine, periodically after driving a while the oil lamp goes on and off continually. It's not losing oil and everything sounds fine (i.e., no "clicking" as if things weren't getting lubricated), but nonetheless it still keeps coming on.
I talked to the place that did the head gasket job, and while I can't recall exactly what he said, I think it might be the screen or something in the oil pan could be clogged? He'd actually recommended doing this when we did the head gasket but I opted not to in order to save some money, and also see if it in fact needed to be replaced.
So...while it seems to be running fine, I do believe the oil lamp is quite serious...should I not be driving it?? Any thoughts on what could be causing this?
Thanks for your help.
