Ok, thanks.  Can you provide some more details about your test?  When you
ran this test, did you include the rest of the patches in this series,
only some, or no others at all?  I assume it was based on the contents
of net from 6/23 or 6/24 - is that correct? Can you also describe the
hardware you ran your test on?  And lastly, would you briefly describe
the nature of your test?

The message you quoted is only seen with debug turned on, and as Dany
remarked, can be expected and normal in some recovery situations. It's
always possible you've found a case undetected by our testing, so the
above information can help us better understand what you saw.
