FPs on XML PHP signatures.

["qwerty qwertytrewq" <mrman373 () hotmail com>]

Hi list.

The XML PHP signatures from both VRT and Bleeding Snort (sid 3827 rev 1 and 
sid 2002158 rev 4) have been triggering fine for a couple of months on my 
sensor.
But recently they have produced some FPs on what lookes like perfectly legal 
traffic.

Here is a dump of traffic that both sigs triggered on:

Perfmon shows no sign of the sensor being stressed, both mbit/sec and packet 
loss are
producing normal numbers. No peaks whatsoever.

Anyone else experienced FPs on these signatures?

Thanks!
