I got this message with kernel 3.0 under an almost stable Gentoo :

* Running postup ...
* Bringing up interface br0
* Creating bridge br0 ...
set hello timer failed: Numerical result out of range
* Adding ports to br0
* tap0 ... [ ok ]
* tap1 ... [ ok ]
* 192.168.0.254/16 ... [ ok ]
* Running postup ...

with these settings :
Code:
brctl_br0="
setfd 0
sethello 30
stp off"

Kernel 2.6.39.3 doesn't show that. Is this a harmless message ?
