Ummm... a circular rat over a pin means that the pin wants to be 
connected (usually by a thermal) to the polygon that surrounds it. 
Circular rats are normal on your ground pins if you have a ground flood 
polygon, for instance.

If, however, you manage to short a net to ground someplace else on the 
board, you will see these on all the pins of that net.  Of course, you 
will also get shorted net warnings.
