Here is an explanation that I found for this error message

   *Explanation   *This message indicates that a particular IPC port is   overused. An application is not draining packets quickly, which suggests   that the CPU is very busy. [dec] is the number of messages pending in the   IPC to be processed by the application. [chars] is the IPC port name. The   first [hex] is the IPC port number, the second [hex] is the IPC seat number,   and the third [hex] is the IPC index.

I also found a post indicating that this error may reflect a memory leak - especially if you are seeing any malloc error messages. See this link for further details
