If I interpreted the thread(s) correctly, adding:
option PRINTF_BUFR_SIZE 128

to my kernel source file fixes this. Correct?
Also, were these threads in regard to 7? I don't
see this in any of our recent 6 kernel messages.
Lastly, just for the record, the only place I ever experience
the garbled (overlapping) messages is to the console. dmesg
seems to be clear.

Thanks.
