VM: Undead swap messages at shutdown

Hello Linux VM God :)

I think I started seeing this about 2.4.0-ac6...when I shutdown my
machine, I see tons of 'VM: Undead swap entry #######', where ####### is
some memory address. I can also reproduce this 100% by (for
example) going into X, loading a lot of crap so that my 112mb ram is full
and it starts to swap, then get out of X, and do a 'swapoff -a'.

Is this just debugging info, or would you like to see the output of it? My
machine is currently a Debian Unstable, with 112mb RAM and about 190mb
swap, running 2.4.0-ac8.

I have the following kernels installed, so if you need me to see exactly
which kernel started this, it'll be easy:

toy:/etc# grep label /etc/lilo.conf
label = 240ac8
label = 240ac7
# label = 240ac6
# label = 240ac2
# label = 240prac6
# label = 240prac4
# label = 240t13p7
# label = 240t12
# label = 240t12p6
# label = 240t12p5
# label = 240t12p3
# label = 240t12p2
# label = 240t11
# label = 240t11p7
label = k2218p15
label = win98
