No, I do not. This weird dmesg output occured immediately after the 12-CURRENT branch was
created - somehow. 11-ALPHA3 doesn't show up this problem. I haven't tested ALPHA6 or the
most recent BETA.
The nasty thing is that I can't write to the USB flash drive in some cases - although
this worked flawless before.
I did not change anything in the config (rc.conf[.XXX]). The problem occured with one of
the patchesets placed via svn in the strain of moving to 12-CURRENT.
And it occurs an ALL CURRENT systems I run.
