That message is output by sortm.c:rename_msgs().  Right before that
there's a comment that says:

        /*
         * the guy that was msg j is about to become msg i.
         * rename 'j' to make a hole, then recursively rename
         * guys to fill up the hole.
         */

Which I think pretty much explains it.
