I think you are looking at the wrong direction. /var/log/messages is usually used to log many various daemon messages, not only kernel messages. What you should do is to look at the context of this error, maybe post some lines around it here. Generally, this message usually means that some TCP client opened a connection to a TCP server on your host then closed it at some unexpected stage (e.g. a mail client opened an SMTP connection to your sendmail then reset the connection abruptly).
