I thought I was crazy, I'm seeing this also. I had to
switch my kernel back on our mail hub because postfix kept
doing this every time I boot the new kernel. I tried to
figure out why but could not; the system *appears* to run
normally otherwise. I was moving from 2.4.21-pre4-ac1
+gibbs-aic7xxx patches from that time, to 2.4.21-ac2
+gibbs-aic7xxx from 20030603, and I thought that might be it
(the AIC patches); are you running AIC adapters on your
system with the gibbs patches by any chance?
here's what I'm seeing on my mail hub getting a test message
from one of the exchangers:

this is system is RH8+updates with the mentioned kernels.
Very bizarre.

yeah that's the weird part that had me scratching my head as
well. The other poster said it happens for him on reiserfs,
and I'm on ext3, so that would seem to rule out
filesystems...
hmm looking at -ac2 log, looks like the following might be
possible:
- Fix AF_UNIX dgram select problem
+ postfix uses lots of these, this sounds like the
most likely candidate for sure
- Revert problematic scsi change (fixes ppa/imm)
+ does it touch generic code?
- Fix data direction for start stop scsi command
+ have no idea what this is
- Add more unexpected apic filtering
+ I'm on SMP...don't know if this is related??
I don't see how it could be any of the other changes.
