Don't worry. I think it's just Bill's debugging output. I imagine
those messages will be removed once the kinks are removed from the
dentry code. I've been quite happy with 2.1.62 (I've stopped using
2.1.42 now). The dentry stuff really makes FS operations scream. Just
try a few succsessive finds...
