Thanks for the reply, Brad. I think you are on to something...
No, I haven't applied any updates since upgrading early last year. I'll download and apply the latest updates.
I'm seeing about 22K+ files in that folder, my assumption is that's too many. I'm also seeing a persistent IP address generating those traps, which is a separate issue that I'll need to deal with.
Again, much thanks for the advice!
