This is perfectly natural.  TCP will generate these messages whenever
its retransmission timer goes off; they should correlate with packet
losses.

(The `routed' program, for one, uses these messages as an indication
that the gateway for a particular route may be down, in which case if
there is another equal-cost route it will try that one instead.)
