My 2.2.5-RELEASE (recently upgraded from 2.2.2-RELEASE) has been running
very nicely.  No crashes, no odd behavior, etc.  Until this morning, when
I noticed the following kernel messages on the console:

> fhtovp: file start miss -853868544 vs 88
> fhtovp: file start miss -853868544 vs 88
> fhtovp: file start miss -853868544 vs 88
> fhtovp: file start miss -853868544 vs 88
> fhtovp: file start miss -853868544 vs 88

What do they mean?  (i.e. what part of the kernel is generating them?) 
I'm guessing the File system?  Is this an indication that one of my disks
is about to go belly-up?  Should I boot to single-user and run a manual
fsck on everything?

The system seems to be running OK despite these messages.  I haven't found
any damaged or unreadable files.
