Well, these lines certainly look really corrupt to me. I'm not sure what
information you would hope to get out of them.I wouldn't try and make a
format to catch them, if they're this faulty.

Do you have a lot of lines of this type? If so, there is probably
something wrong with your server. Or if you're using Apache and logging to
a pipe, maybe you should see if something's wrong with the program on the
other end of the pipe.
