Jens,

We cannot give any explanation, but we are also seeing those weird 
messages on RHEL6.4/ThinLinc 4.1.0 and they are also present in 
/var/log/messages.
They often come after a user reconnects to a session:

determine session: Unable to lookup session information for process '30432'

What OS are you running?
