Grepping case-insensitively through RHEL-4 kernel sources I could find no
occurence of the string "Clear_kernel_memory". Searching for "will leak" only
revealed unrelated texts. It is possible that something other than the kernel is
printing the message.
It is unclear from your description if the system hangs after this message or if
it continues with no other problems.
As this is a problem in RHEL, could you please file the issue in Issue Tracker?
There you'll get faster customer service. The support people will help with
finding out where the problem really is, and assign it to the right person. Let
them know this bug's number, so they can link it to the Issue Tracker ticket.
