The problem is that this line contains the word "error". (Actually, it
contained it several times, but the "error.*" occurrences got fixed up
before the detector saw them.)
The error detector was deliberately built to be quite conservative --
since we can't trust the kernel Makefiles to stop properly on an error --
and every now and then somebody messes with kernel details in such a way
as to make it give a false alarm.
It's no longer clear that this was such a good idea, the false alarms have
gotten rather more common than they used to be.
