This is an FC5 64-bit system with 1GB RAM and dual-core Opteron. When I create a bunch of virtual interfaces, I see this in /var/log/messages. The kernel is 2.6.16.16 plus my hacks.
At first look, it doesn't appear I actually need the avahi tool, so I'm just going to disable it. But, I thought someone might want to be aware of the problem...
