SunOS cnd-c 5.6 Generic sun4m sparc SUNW,SPARCstation-20

gcc version 2.8.1
>Description:
About 5% of the access log are entries like this:

152 - - [13/May/1998:18:06:08 -0700] "GET / HTTP/1.0" 200 8432
146 - - [13/May/1998:18:06:14 -0700] "GET / HTTP/1.0" 200 8432

The first number appears to be the first octet of the IP address
(based on observation of established connections using netstat).

The relevant conf file entries:

HostnameLookups off
LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b" common
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/access_log common

Most of the log entries are perfectly normal like this:

131.216.18.124 - - [13/May/1998:18:18:14 -0700] "GET / HTTP/1.0" 200 8432
>How-To-Repeat:
URL is http://www.cnd.org/
But since only about 5% of the entries are problematic, I am not sure how
to repeat it. It does not appear to have a pattern in the IP number.
>Fix:
Nope. Sorry.
