Max,

This is a sev 5 notification message. As such, it is nothing to be worried
about. From cco....

*Error Message   *IPC-5-WATERMARK: [dec] messages pending in [hex] for the
port [chars] [hex].[hex]

   *Explanation   *This message indicates that a particular IPC port is
   overused. An application is not draining packets quickly, which suggests
   that the CPU is very busy. [dec] is the number of messages pending in the
   IPC to be processed by the application. [chars] is the IPC port name. The
   first [hex] is the IPC port number, the second [hex] is the IPC seat number,
   and the third [hex] is the IPC index.

   *Recommended Action   *No action is required.
