Comment (by teor):

 How about:
 {{{
       log_warn(LD_GENERAL, "Your system clock has been set back in time. "
                "Tor needs an accurate clock to know when the consensus "
                "expires. You might have an empty clock battery or bad NTP
 "
                "server. Clock time is %s, state file time is %s.",
                now_str, last_written_str);
 }}}
 (I simplified the language a little.)
