thanks for your help,
I updated the 4.5.0 Version to a 4.6.2 and it seems that it solved the
log entries.

The connection still seems a bit unstable, but I will observe it more
and try to figure out what causes it. Is much easier without the now
missing errors.

Thanks again.

Is a productive system and for the users sake can't take it down just
for a test or two.
