Description
   When an attempt is made to run an suid program on a fs mounted nosuid, the present message presents a hexadecimal device number for the filesystem which is not informative.
See http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/uts/common/os/exec.c#606
The message is also only sent to the global zone.  Sending it to the console of the zone in which it occurs would be useful.
