What version of the preempt patch are you using? I believe this has been
fixed in recent versions, my only remaining program spewing out this
problem on exit being nfsd. Or maybe it was fixed in a later version of
coreutils (since I sync with Sid).

I also recommend using Con Kolivas' patch sets. They're pretty
well-made, IMO, and I use -ck14 now on two workstations, one with ext3
and the other with XFS. Just avoid the compressed cache patch on systems
with either ext2/ext3 or FAT. Check them out at
<http://kernel.kolivas.net/>.

Good luck.
