Still happening with 2.5.42-mm2 (email problems - using different smtp server)

Hi,

I have been seeing this during shutdown ever since I started using 2.5. 
Figured I really should report it...   There are three serial ports.  One
for a serial console, the second for a backUPS ups, the third for a (real)
modem.  Dist is debian sid.

Saving state of known serial devices... Unable to handle kernel NULL
