      These messages are a regression compared with 2.6.24, which did not
      flood the syslog with them.
      
      The actual underlying problem was introduced in 2.6.23, when somebody
      made the string parsing no longer accept nul-terminated strings as a
      valid input to store_uevent().
      
      Eg.  "add\0" was valid prior to 2.6.23, where the code regressed to
      require "add" without the '\0'.
      
      This patch fixes the 2.6.23 / 2.6.24 regressions, by having the code
      once again tolerate the trailing '\0', if present.
      
      According to GregKH, this mainly affects older Ubuntu systems, such as
      the one I have here that requires this fix.
