I am getting a lot of odd suhosin alerts in my syslog. The following are example entries:

Jun  9 08:46:11 suhosin[9764]: ALERT - script tried to increase memory_limit to 2145386496 bytes which is above the allowed value (attacker '157.55.39.180', file '/var/www/site/index.php')  
Jun  9 08:46:11 suhosin[9744]: ALERT - script tried to increase memory_limit to 2145386496 bytes which is above the allowed value (attacker '109.74.2.136', file '/var/www/site/test.php')
Jun  9 08:46:13 suhosin[9779]: ALERT - script tried to increase memory_limit to 0 bytes which is above the allowed value (attacker 'REMOTE_ADDR not set', file 'unknown')  
Jun  9 08:46:13 suhosin[9779]: ALERT - script tried to increase memory_limit to 2145386496 bytes which is above the allowed value (attacker 'REMOTE_ADDR not set', file 'unknown')

What is happening here? Why 0 bytes or 2145386496 bytes (2046 GB!!??)? Why does it sometimes state the attacker and the requested script and sometimes state 'REMOTE_ADDR not set' and file 'unknown'? How do I proceed to figure this out?
