printk doesn't handle tabs

Sometimes I get this message on the console (BTW, is this normal or
something to worry about?):

IPX: Network number collision a993
oeth0 802.3 and eth0 802.2
^
The 'o' on the second line is not really 'o' but it's the character
with the code 8 from the PC character set (a small circle). This
message contains a tab and printk() doesn't seem to handle that.
It's in linux/net/ipx/af_ipx.c. It might be a good idea to search
for other printk's trying to use tabs and use spaces instead, or
modify printk to expand tabs to spaces.

The machine is on a large network with several Netware servers.
IPX is configured with auto primary on and auto interface on.
