It happens on 2.3.2{7,8} (haven't checked previous yet) and I *think* (not
sure) it's tied to the patching that made fs/file_table.c get_empty_filp
(only place this error message exists) SMP-safe, although it might be
that it needs to declare max_files static (not sure at all :)
Only happens during initial boot, not while its running at all.
