I used to see something like that back in the 2.0 kernels.  It was a
harmless bug then.  I imagine recompiling your kernel, or installing
a binary kernel package, would squash it.

I doubt debian-security is the right place for this.  And, btw, do you
know about lists.debian.org, where you can search the mailing list
archives?
