That means your backend is crashing every ten minutes, and something is 
automatically restarting it.  That last number before ".log" is the 
process ID.

Any idea what that is that keeps connecting to your backend?  A frontend 
should initially connect as "Playback" rather than "Monitor", and even 
if your backend got confused and started connecting back to itself as a 
slave, it would show up as "SlaveBackend".
