If you ever wrote that node down specifically, e.g. in your torrc file,
then it means what Karsten N just described. You can't specify a node
just by its nickname and expect it to be unique.

If you haven't ever touched your config file and you're wondering why
this message came out of the blue, it may be the recurrence of an old
bug we had with Vidalia doing lookups on Tor servers in the background.

Please let us know which it is. :)
