This is not a problem. Your AP gut a managment frame with is not for
the AP. Thats all.

I have the same problem with the hostapd. It seams that the hostapd got
a SIGKILL. But i don't know why. Not enough memory is not the problem.

Did you use the hostap deamon (hostapd) or only the kernel-module?
