I've hear that is a fairly common warning to get on the ground on a hot day in the summer, but I haven't encountered it much.
Inflight though it could possibly become a serious issue if you can't isolate the leak/stop it from bleeding hot air into the tailcone compartment. Something to do with pneumatic bleed lines coming off the engines and possibly degrading ice protection capabilities.
I think the best thing to do in this is case grab the volume 2 and start pulling circuit breakers until the annunciator goes away.
