Eloi,

The message comes from this part of:

gdal/frmts/grid/degrib18/degrib/inventory.cpp


          case GS4_STATISTIC: /* 4.8 */
             if (InventoryParseTime (*buffer + 35 - 5, &(inv->validTime)) != 0) {
                printf ("Warning: Investigate Template 4.8 bytes 35-41\n");
                inv->validTime = inv->refTime + inv->foreSec;
             }

Basically, it appears that it means there was a problem parsing
a date in the grib file, and it is reported as a warning.

There is no particular reason to believe it is related to the crash
you see with some files.

You might want to file a ticket with one of the files resulting in a
crash for further investigation.

Best regards,
