I just got this again, and again it's right about the same time as an sshd
session ending:

Feb 27 16:51:46 yoda kernel: Warning: dev (03:b4) tty->count(1) !=
#fd's(2) in do_tty_hangup
Feb 27 16:51:46 yoda sshd[25049]: log: Closing connection to 205.229.48.42

I only have the new tty/pty devices...the old ones were rm'd many months
ago. It seems to me this must be a kernel bug sshd is exposing. I'm
using sshd 1.2.17 (ELF) and kernel 2.0.28 on the server.
