I get tons of these as well with 2.4.18 and 1.1 using rel 5 of the
pre-empt patch. I used GCC 3.1 to compile. As far as I can tell they
are harmless messages, though they fill up dmesg quickly ;)
A Google search turned up a post from R. Love talking about how this was
a debug message that came out if the pre-empt count was not = 0. He
felt it would be rare to have it not be 0, though he had gotten some
reports of false logs and was thinking he might pull the log message.
Can't find it now though (I searched when I first recompiled)
Well, I can attest that pretty much every process that exits on my
machine generates these messages. But so far, my machine has run like a
rock with it - so for now I'm ignoring the logs and plowing ahead ;)
