restartd.

I don't know.  Maybe start with the source code and see what sort of
conditions cause that error to be reported?

The only thing that jumps out at me from the logs I snipped is a lot
of daemons are reporting unusual problems at that time.  Maybe some
hardware issue on the machine (failing memory or data corruption on
some bus)?
