Hi,

	I am getting more than 4 thousand of the following messages a day:

WARNING pid 24509 (python2.6): ioctl sign-extension ioctl ffffffff8004667e

	I've already recompiled all my python ports and dependencies.
I am running up to date ports (today).

$ uname -a
FreeBSD exxodus.fedaykin.here 8.1-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 8.1-PRERELEASE #10: Thu Jun 17 12:28:13 BRT 2010     lioux at exxodus:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/LIOUX  amd64

	These messages began this past week but I am not sure what
might be to blame: latest ports or latest -STABLE.

	The specific python port is deluge 1.3 RC1. It was running
fine before this past week of changes.

	Does anyone have an idea what might be causing this? Do I
have to be alarmed by this? The system is reliable despite these
messages.

	Regards,
