I also get them once in a while, but I really don't care
much.  I usually don't look at the logs anyway, but let
logsurfer (from ports) look at them and tell me when some-
thing looks suspicious.  :-)

I think it makes sense to replace LOG_NOTICE with LOG_DEBUG,
so you can still get at the messages if you really want to.
It's not necessary to remove the logging code alltogether.
