A little more information may help to clear this up:  All of the missed
srcip occurred at the same time: from 11:52:44 to 14:08:20 on Dec 1 and from
22:13:55 On Dec 1 until now (2 days later) so I think it is fairly likely
that I added a custom decoder or rule that has caused this effect.  When I
get a chance, I'll figure out which one.

I originally discounted it being a rule as I don't understand how a rule can
fire but have it's srcip stolen by another rule.  Still have a lot to learn
about how rules work.

I do have a question though.  Can more than one decoder reference the same
<program_name \>.  If so, does each decoder work independently of the other
or is there an order of precedence?
