"No more backup pools left. Using primary and starting over."

I am not using a pool, I am using my graphics cards mining with poclbm over rpc. i do not understand why I get these messages.

localhost:8332 15/08/2012 22:40:13, No more backup pools left. Using primary and starting over.
localhost:8332 15/08/2012 22:40:13, Setting server (MYUSERNAME @ localhost:8332)
localhost:8332 16/08/2012 13:15:35, No more backup pools left. Using primary and starting over.
localhost:8332 16/08/2012 13:15:35, Setting server (MYUSERNAME @ localhost:8332)

Is this something that is fixable? Should I bother (does it affect the mining in any significant way)?

Presumably, you have no backup pool configured. So if your server doesn't respond quickly enough, poclbm just fails over back to the primary pool. If these are only happening occasionally, I wouldn't worry about it. Anything that momentarily prevents the RPC call from getting a response can do this.
