On 2.2-stable, I found this in the logs and I also receive these messages
every time I try (unsuccessfully) to start syslogd.  I have not seen the
inode message again:

Note that syslog was complaining about not enough inodes...  df -i shows
this:

So what does all this mean?  I've got a lovely new Seagate here that
hasn't been abused, and I've got lots of inodes...  Are the two messages
related?  I can't tell from the kernel messages what partition this is
happening on; I'm assuming swap.  This has no effect on the system other
than the fact that I can't start syslog.  I'm swapping along in X with
Netscape and about 20 terms open...
