As I understand it, that means that a referring URL is ridiculously long, so
the system just truncates it. For example, some of those sites that have
referring URLs like:

http://www.foobar.com/thingie/thingie/thingie/A7Z893200AABB778929348434e3423
53985725987.asp (etc)

Webalizer probably has a limit on how long fields can be that it reads in
from your web logs. I get this kind of error every day too.  I've just
ignored it so far, and had no problems.
