All,

Since this list is the only forum on Bro, I will shoot my question here
(even not being sure whether its appropriate) :-)

I keep seing this alert - ContentGap - in HTTP and SMTP traffic. What does
it actually mean? I suspect reading the *.cc files is the only way to
really know it, but maybe somebody can explain it?

On anothet note, there seems to be a minor bug in dropped packet counting.
Here is what I got today:

1064520794.493349 DroppedPackets dropped 633 packets out of -692 received

Best,
