I can confirm this as well.  RH 7.3 with Perl 5.6.1 and MD 2.43.  We 
actually just started using the embedded Perl a few days ago (and our 
several-times-a-day high load spikes vanished completely), and this message 
does show up in our logs.

Fortunately, restarting seems to have less of an impact now than it did 
before, so for the moment I don't mind changing our scripts.
