Subject: 2.6.25.11-97.fc9 (P): idr_remove called for id=236 which is not allocated

Hi,

First the confessions: It's fedora-patched kernel, 2.6.25.11-97.fc9,
tainted by NVIDIA driver. So feel free to drop to /dev/null until I
can reproduce on a clean and recent kernel. (But -rc3 didn't boot for
me, and I don't have anything else handy atm.)

By bashing on random device nodes (with mknod + mmap as root), I got a
few messages of this kind:

idr_remove called for id=236 which is not allocated.

It looks scary. Or is it purely my own fault?

Thanks,
