(about conn. reset
by pear meaning, first paragraph only).

  As to the 'why now' question : don't bother too long with that in life.
  Advising to upgrade to 2.5STABLE5. There have been issues fixed
  in combination with PIX firewalls. As I recall they had problems
  inspecting http packets when some headers where not seen in an initial
  packet or something.
  Vaque , check the archives for more.
