Taking a very quick look at the source along with reading the description
of tcpspy makes you feel, it's nothing to totally worry about. That error
occures if a sscanf() fails when reading the above mentiond file.

<description>
Description: Incoming and Outgoing TCP/IP connections logger.
 tcpspy is an administrator's tool that logs information
 about incoming and outgoing TCP/IP connections. It's
 written in C and uses no libpcap functions, unlike tcpdump.
 .
 Connections are selected for logging with rules, similarly
 to the filter expressions accepted by tcpdump. The
 following information is logged: username, local address
 and port, remote address and port, and, optionally, the
 executable filename.
 .
 At present, only the IPv4 protocol is supported.

Are you using IPv6 and the parsing then fails possibly? Or something like
that?

If you find the problem, please tell.
