I put the message in originally while looking for potential problems in freeing
sysctl table memory. At the time I was concerned that if a /proc entry wasn't
deleted immediately, it would never get freed.
But actually the case is that several sysctl tables may have pointers to the
same /proc subdir, and only the last sysctl to be freed would actually release
the /proc dir. (At the time of the last free the /proc subdir should be empty so
that it can be removed).
So the messages should be harmless and can be removed.
Regards,
Bill
