You can safely ignore it.  If you'd like to post a note to 
issues.asterisk.org, we can make it go away.

Asterisk uses "control frames" as an internal messaging mechanism for 
certain types of signaling between channels.  A "control subclass" is a 
type of control message.  An example of a subclass would be RINGING to 
indicate that the far end has sent us a message to say that they are 
ringing.  A subclass of -1 basically means "stop whatever I told you 
last".  If the last message was RINGING, a -1 means to stop that indication.
