client closed prematurely connection while reading client request line

modern browsers are modern.

Very basic configuration, strictly for serving static files. I've got the error_log setting configured to "info" to get more information as to what's happening with connections, etc. While monitoring the error log and loading a single static html file through my web browser, I noticed this line in the error log show up: 2011/10/24 16:02:04 [info] 26517#0: *3132 client closed prematurely connection while reading client request line, client: ###.###.###.###, server: localhost What's the reason for this error, does it matter and is there a way to address it? is it indicative of a deeper network configuration issue with TCP settings? Thanks
