Odd swap behavior in 2.1.60

I have a 40MB swap partition which mounts first and then a 110MB swap
partition which mounts second. If, and so far only if, the system starts
to swap into the second swap partition, I start to see things like:

Oct 30 00:46:14 perfect kernel: d_alloc: 1825 unused, pruning dcache
Oct 30 00:46:46 perfect last message repeated 16 times
Oct 30 00:47:33 perfect last message repeated 4 times
Oct 30 00:47:39 perfect kernel: d_alloc: 1830 unused, pruning dcache
Oct 30 00:47:39 perfect kernel: d_alloc: 1825 unused, pruning dcache.

When I reboot, I see a *lot* of lines like:

try_to_unuse: didn't find entry %8lx

scroll up the screen, but are not stored in the syslogs. These come
from mm/swapfile.c.

Free also reports a lot of swap space used, like 17MB, just before
shutdown when there isn't anything that large running.

A problem?
