Hi.
The log was flooded by %ASA-4-733100 messages, like hundreds of them. 
Unfortunately I don't log level 4 to syslog, so no exact message, just a 
message ID.
:"Object" as per message description on ASA 8 System Log Messages Guide 
was [Scanning] and "rate_val" was all 10 out of 10.
%ASA-4-733100: Object drop rate rate_ID exceeded. Current burst rate is 
rate_val per second, max configured rate is rate_val; Current average 
rate is rate_val per second, max configured rate is rate_val; Cumulative 
total count is total_cnt

So something of NAT went crossed with security concerns of ASA box. As 
mentioned, after restart all went to normal.
Cheers,
A.
