Doh on me! :) You are right, of course; in my panic I kinda read it all as
one line.

I don't think I like the sound of that. :( I cannot say that FreeBSD went
beserk or anything, for had it not been for me having read that message, I
would have never noticed it. Still, I hate errors. :) And I hope it does not
affect the mirror.

Well, that's the weird part: the message cannot be found in
/var/log/messages (that is why I read the above as a denied packet).
