In the p2pool log, I'm seeing a ton of these:

I've tried reading through p2pool's source, but Python isn't my thing and the code doesn't appear well structured IMHO. So, it was hard for me to tell if "target" referred to:

a) A Bitcoin block target - unlikely
b) A p2pool share - my first thought
or
c) A difficulty 1 (or x) share - my fear

Surely somebody knows which it's referring to?

A difficulty 1 share.

That target is 2^(256-32)-1, the maximum possible target for most hardware (H=0).

That message is printed when a miner returns work that doesn't match the target it was sent, meaning that there's a bug or other problem.

EDIT: That returned work has a hash that isn't low at all. What mining hardware are you using?
