Gah!  They're back!

These have happened off-and-on for ... a long time.  They're not supposed
to happen.  It's not fatal because the kernel corrects for it, but the
warning is indicitave of a problem.

Unfortunately, I have never been able to reproduce this on any of my Alpha
systems ... ever.  Sigh.

It's probably worth filing a PR about.
