Re: String error

[Tina Bird <tbird () precision-guesswork com>]

Hi there --

I'm guessing that "sys_message" usually indicates
something generated by the underlying host OS of
the FireWall-1, not the firewall software itself -
tho' how that manages to end up in the firewall log
I can't imagine.

Have you looked at the syslog or EventViewer data
for the time at which this message showed up, to
see if anything there helped explain things?
