It's a calculation of cpu time the process has used. Somewhere there was a math error, causing a negative time to appear. I get thousands of these on some of my servers: eg: calcru: negative time of -12177441 usec for pid 1420 (cucipop) etc.. I've not seen it be of any harm, but it may be somehow that i'm not aware of.
