Ok, here is some more info: I finally was able to make this log
myself and determine the cause... it is when you click on the
[more] pages on my search page.

the results page is a [query] search. to be sure, I added a
hidden input field for the [value query] for subsequent pages
and it does show up in the source, but I am still getting the
same logs when you click on the more pages...

any ideas?
