 =============

I see this log entry occasionally also.  Indeed, I saw it just this
morning.  

The box in question is FreeBSD 10.0 and is used as an HTTP caching
proxy, which is why the Firefox mention upthread caught my attention.
 The box sits behind a FreeBSD 10.0/pf firewall.

I'll put into place the sysctl suggestion recommended upthread and
see what I find.

Thanks!
