 > What I think we should do is discover why this log message is printed
 when the described event occurs

 It's because some function deep inside Tor returns -1 for failure, and the
 calling function thinks -1 means it needs to log a warning. It's a great
 opportunity for refactoring. (In fact, I hear Chelsea enjoys refactoring,
 so I am cc'ing her on this ticket. :)

 > and see if it causes any load over the Tor process. Requests on non-
 configured virtual ports should be discarded in a way that spends the
 lowest amount of resources possible.

 I think there isn't any extra load, except for the warning.
