Ok, I understand this now. Thanks.
More disturbingly, I notice in the same image that the strings that are printk'd in the macros from include/linux/time.h seem to be occuring quite a lot. The comment in this file says that the macros are only a temp measure whilst the new waitqueue code is debugged, but can't these macros be changed to use 1 copy of each string?
