Reboot won't change anything. Can you email me or post the contents of
/var/dhcpd/var/db/dhcpd.leases? Go to Diag>command and run:
cat /var/dhcpd/var/db/dhcpd.leases

I have the user seeing if they can download Dolphin.  Yeah, I recognized the 
dates and knew they were close to the Unix Epoch, but why would they be the 
release times for DHCP address.  Do you think it is time for a reboot?

Never heard of that happening. 411 means "The server refuses to accept
the request without a defined Content- Length. The client MAY repeat
the request if it adds a valid Content-Length header field containing
the length of the message-body in the request message."

No properly functioning browser should send such a request, it isn't
HTTP 1.1 compliant. Seems to be common to some other Android devices,
and a wide range of sites, if you search on it. Its browser is broken.
Hacking the source to disable HTTP 1.1 in lighttpd should work around
that, but could cause any number of other issues. Something that
broken on the phone has probably been fixed I presume, see if there is
an update for the phone available.

I believe that's the date on leases that don't expire (that's shortly
before the Unix epoch) but not completely sure.
