Crashing relay (was any middlemen seeing DoS currently?)

Is there anything, in simple terms, that I can do to stop this?
Bear in mind please that I'm an expert neither in Tor nor OSX, but I 
would like to contribute to the network. My torrc is the bare minimum 
generated by the Vidalia interface, apart from my specifying my Address 
to avoid a bug with my dynamic IP (I posted previously under thread 
'Problem with dynamic IP').
Thanks,
GD
