What does "malformed zone" mean?

I have re-created this (and two other spaces) several times. After I get one space re-created, this error pops up on another space. The error is now occuring AGAIN on the first space I re-created. It seems I am going in circles. Can anyone tell me what this means and/or how to solve it?

* Severe * CalcHeatBalanceInsideSurf: The temperature of -388775.59 C for zone="THERMAL ZONE: ATTIC-MECH-NORTH", for surface="SURFACE 3" * ~~~ * ..is very far out of bounds during warmup. This may be an indication of a malformed zone.
