I've been seeing these in syslog for the last week or so.  Has anyone
else run across them?

It looks like a buffer overflow attempt on rpc.statd, but since there
aren't any FreeBSD advisories about it I'm guessing that the script
kiddies are hitting on it at random without necessarily knowing about
what kind of architecture or OS they're trying to attack.

Does it look familiar to anyone else?
