Is this anything to be concerned about?

As title says I noticed that one of my Android phones is getting a lot of short runtimes since the switchover to the new website url and error messages as noted below.

Many tasks don't run the full 1 hour but still validate & accumulate/record run time apparently correct.

Error message: Can't set up shared mem: -1. Will run in standalone mode.
