hm, that was supposed to shut itself off after 100 messages:

		if (count && printk_ratelimit()) {
			char comm[TASK_COMM_LEN];

			count--;
			printk(KERN_INFO "fork(): process `%s' used deprecated "

	}

I don't see how you got 151 instances.  I guess I'm having another stupid
day.

It looks like a simple race, two threads do count-- before doing if(count), resulting in an almost infinite loop. Probably.

atomic_test_and_dec might work.
