Summary will occasionally give those messages when nothing is really 
wrong. When an HTTP request comes into the web reporting interface that 
is not a valid HTTP request an internal process will sometimes abort, 
just in case the invalid request was some kind of attempted attack on 
Summary. They can also happen when any of several system resources are 
exhausted. They are most significant when they happen in the middle of 
processing, aborting processing, which generally indicates some kind of 
bug in Summary.

Dr. Seuss books . . . can be read and enjoyed on several levels. For
example, 'One Fish Two Fish, Red Fish Blue Fish' can be deconstructed
as a searing indictment of the narrow-minded binary counting system.
