Well, from its name its a daemon (a process run by the operating system). And it's apparently a bug in the service. Most likely due to corrupt data in a request made to the Real Time Clock Reporting daemon that went undetected. Knowing that, what good does it do you?

Hi Lawrence,

I had my last iphone replaced due to some issues with the internal stuff messing with the phone, and I always used to have to check the diagnostics section to report back to the apple person I was talking to. I just wanted some information about it for peace of mind. I can usually google answers for most crashes, but this one didn't show up much, so thought I would just ask.

Do I have anything to worry about with that bug? Is that a normal bug for an iphone? (Not jailbroken)

It's something that a programmer can use to fix the bug, not something that you should worry about. There are probably hundreds of similar reports stored in the phone.
