In today's output from news.daily, I found the above message; just like
below (much elided):

I have some concerns about this:
* I can't tell what program issued that message.
* I can't tell when it was issued.
* I can't tell how much of a problem is being reported; I don't know
what failed to work as a result of the symptoms that lead to the issuing
of the message.
* I can't tell what I should do to prevent a recurrence of the message.
On the off chance that it's referring to (backing store for) virtual
storage:
news# swapinfo

if [ x$1 = xstop ]; then

Also, I checked the searchable list archives, and saw some similar
questions, but no answers.
Help?
Thanks,
