sysmond filling log file

Hi Y'all,

During a recent network outage, sysmond filled up the sysmond.log
file with tons of messages like:

Dec 02 2003-13:32:26 : Possibly stale check of x.x.x.x:www:80 lasting  45.079987
Dec 02 2003-13:32:27 : Possibly stale check of x.x.x.x:www:80 lasting  46.089802
Dec 02 2003-13:32:28 : Possibly stale check of x.x.x.x:www:80 lasting  46.644920
Dec 02 2003-13:32:28 : Possibly stale check of x.x.x.x:www:80 lasting  47.228584
Dec 02 2003-13:32:28 : Possibly stale check of x.x.x.x:www:80 lasting  47

There were over 8000 of the lines for "Dec 02 2003-13:32:28"
The log file grew pretty fast, and eventually filled up the file system.

Any idea where the message comes from, and more important: why
so many are being generated in a single second?

Thanks,

j
