This message comes from one of the sanity checks I added when I cleaned
up the chgprocncnt()/chgsbsize() implementation.  You are the first to
mention this problem, and I don't see how it could happen.  For some
reason, your kernel appears to think there are a negative number of
processes running with a real uid of 0.

Have init_main.o, kern_exit.o, kern_fork.o, kern_prot.o, and kern_resource.c
all been built from up to date sources?  Is there anything unusual running
on your machine?
