Is this message from chkrootkit a threat (SUSE 10.1)?


I ran chkrootkit right after installation of SUSE 10.1 (and after some net surfing). Part of the readout says this:
Code:
Searching for Ducoci rootkit... /usr/bin/find: WARNING: Hard link count is wrong for ./proc/6494: this may be a bug in your filesystem driver.  Automatically turning on find's -noleaf option.  Earlier results may have failed to include directories that should have been searched.
I don't know how to glean any meaning from this. A threat?

/usr/bin/find: WARNING: Hard link count is wrong
It's "find" that spits out the error. Seems fixed in april of this year in versions 4.2.x and 4.3.x of the findutils package.
