This is the message that caused the rest. As the error text implies, it can
be caused by someone stopping the SSL exchange before it was completed. If
you're seeing it multiple times in your logs it could mean any number of
things. A worm/exploit in the wild may not handle SSL well, a worm/exploit
in the wild may be trying to exploit mod_ssl, someones client doesn't play
nice with your SSL implementation, etc, etc. Possible reasons go on and on.

The message alone doesn't indicate a problem on your side. I wouldn't worry
about it unless you see other services also generating error.
