Strange error message: Could not allocate new owner_id

Strange error message: Could not allocate new owner_id

[Michael Stucki]

Hello,

yesterday I've upgrade my laptop from 2.6.11 to 2.6.12. Applied Bootsplash,
SwSusp and the ACPI patches.

All went trough and my laptop is up again.

However, I notice a lot of error messages in the syslog file:

--- cut ---

It doesn't seem to hurt much, but as a bad side-effect of this, I am not
able to watch the battery status anymore.

Thanks for any help!
