Recently upgraded from 2.1.126 to 2.1.127, and
started getting:

Nov 10 11:40:33 isaac kernel: schedule_timeout: wrong timeout value
ffffff9f from c012bb75

every 2 - 5 seconds. The timeout values change around a bit, but are
never less than ffffff00. I c012bb75 wasn't in my System.map though, so
I'm not really sure how to go about finding what is causing the problem. I
am using modules, but the error message keeps coming even if I unload all
the modules. Nothing on my system *seems* to be negatively affected. The
messages started around 04:00 EST, and haven't stopped yet. My system has
only been up about 20 hours, so far.
