What OS and version are you running?

That message happens when the wackatrl control socket becomes readable, 
but accepting on it returns an error.  Can you shut it down and delete 
the /var/run/wack.it file and make sure it isn't touched by any other 
program?  Then start things back up again.

Are you using the wackatrl tool for anything and can you correlate 
these problems with its use?
