Hmmmm, It's got something too do with webalizer so I'm off trying to fix it now...

I think you often get this from sites on the server that haven't been hit.

From the Webalizer faq:

The Webalizer has a fixed maximum size for various parts of the log record. If a particular field is longer than will fit, you will see these warnings. The most common is that for the request field on sites that have a lot of CGI interaction. They can be safely ignored. If you don't want to see warnings or errors, you can use the ReallyQuiet option (-Q command line switch) to supress them.
