This diagnostic has concerned me in the past as well. It is mentioned
here:
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/Console_messages/index.html
but that page does not explain why it "should not be cause for concern,"
or otherwise address erik's questions a-d. Should we define those
answers, adding them here would be good.
