4gb seg fixup

I noticed that my /var/log/messages is full of things like:

  Jan 20 15:15:13 winooski kernel: 4gb seg fixup, process emacs-x (pid 4134), cs:ip 73:001d60fa
  Jan 20 15:15:18 winooski kernel: printk: 30582 messages suppressed.

for basically all processes, and according to the printk lines, there
are a *lot* of them.  (Cleaning old message logs from these left
ridiculously small log files so I'm probably losing lots of other
messages because of this.)

After some googling, I saw that

  echo "hwcap 0 nosegneg" > /etc/ld.conf.so.d/nosegneg.conf

is supposed to fix the problem, but I already had this in
kernelcap-2.6.18-1.2869.fc6.conf and kernelcap-2.6.19-1.2895.fc6.conf
in the same place, and adding yet another file didn't make any
difference.

Is there any way to solve this?

(It's a plain FC6 installation, I didn't install custom kernels and
didn't touch any of the xen stuff.)
