Note that this FAQ does not say "WHY" you should re-compile or 
otherwise fix the problem if you get "LOTS" of these messages...

It DOES impact performance!

Basically, the more errors being generated, the more CPU time is spent 
correcting and logging the errors.

How many is a lot?

Look at the log files. If they are getting huge fast, then you've 
definitely got a problem that needs to be fixed -- ASAP.

If you only get a few when the program loads, then you can just ignore 
them.
