I get the same in elasticsearch. 
But its got nothing to do with it.

Bro seems to split the socket because
of the time inbetween the activity.

You can avoid this by longer timeouts.

It would be better to create a script that
keeps track of all ssl connections in 
memory/broker.
  
I had to convert your dump to tcpdump 
in order to read it in bro (git)

Basically, ssl connection is established at 12:29:39 and is open until Facebook gets annoyed and FIN-ACK's the session at 12:44:39 (now we know they time out at exactly 15 minutes).  However why does that show as entries as above?  Thanks for any insight.
