Howdy,

Received this message on 2.3.15 immediately after hitting ^C in the
middle of a "tar xfz" on the X sources (overwriting what is already
there):

[sroot@oof:/usr/src/x]# untar X334src-1.tgz xc/Makefile
iput: Aieee, semaphore in use inode 00:00/346916170, count=2

I decided to see if I could replicate it:

[sroot@oof:/usr/src/x]# untar X334src-1.tgz xc/Makefile

[sroot@oof:/usr/src/x]# untar X334src-1.tgz xc/Makefile
iput: Aieee, semaphore in use inode 00:00/346916170, count=2

[sroot@oof:/usr/src/x]# untar X334src-1.tgz xc/Makefile

[sroot@oof:/usr/src/x]# untar X334src-1.tgz xc/Makefile
iput: Aieee, semaphore in use inode 00:00/346916181, count=2

Seems like it. :)

"untar" is a silly alias that doesn't support specifying a file to untar,
which is why I hit ^C in the first place:

[sroot@oof:/usr/src/x]# alias untar
set a="!^";set b="$a:e:s/tgz/gz/:s/z/zip/";$b -dc "$a" | tar xf -

It appears to happen with the Linux sources as well.
