Crazy stuff in some logging

Doing some troubleshooting on a (Altiris) PXE server i found a weird line of code in a log:
 
 
i did a search and found this:
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=dead%3Abeef  apparently this line of code is used in IPv6 communication
this also has another meaning: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_number_%28programming%29#Magic_debug_values apparently these codes were used in IBM RS6000 and the Original MAC OS. could this be some code was re-used? ...
