This is a false-positive error message generated by a bug in the kernel
2.4.21-27.0.2 shipped with RHEL U4. See also
   https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=140552

It has been resolved in U5 (according to RH bugzilla). Nothing to worry 
about and no reason to "fix" edg-wl-in.ftpd.

This seems like a local problem, since it previously also accured from
worker nodes and CEs (although RB's are the dominant contribution).
I'll look into it when I'm actually back from my vacation, but they
are harmless.
