Occasionally (such as just now) I have seen these two errors in arm:

Are they anything to worry about? Zenaan

Probably not. It probably means that some bytes got corrupted on the network, not that somebody's trying an attack.

(If somebody _were_ trying an attack, this would be a stupid one, since it wouldn't work against any Tor software I'm aware of.)
