Are such messages something to worry about? What do they mean? Example from dmesg log:

I see these messages a lot on our relays as well. I don't fully understand what they mean either, but the collective intelligence of the Internet seems to agree that it's nothing you need to worry about.

Those errors appear in our dmesg at work and we're not a relay (port 80 instead which is where our web services run) - just thought I'd chime in and say it isn't TOR specific.
