Hi Robert,

I hit the warning on a dual i686 box, with both v2.6.31-rc2 and v2.6.31-rc4.
I can actually trigger it by just running opcontrol --start and then opreport.
It happens with both --separate=none and --separate=all options (the oprofile
deamon using otherwise default options).
About the kernel config, prove_locking is on, oprofile is a module and
oprofile_ibs is not set. For maor detail, I've attached the config file to
the bugzilla.

I've tried to reproduce it on 2.6.31-rc5 without success.

Regards,
Jerome
