Hi,

If you take a look at the timestamps in the log that you posted you will
notice that the transaction depth value is in the correct order if you
sort the log by timestamp.

Bro log files are generally not guaranteed to be well-odered - though I am
admittedly not 100% sure without looking into the http scripts why the
http.log sent by a single worker would be reordered like that :)

I hope this helps,
 Johanna
