Incomplete SSL negotiation information

My server has somehow found its self on the end of some strange
behaviour originating from the Pushdo botnet as described here:

http://www.shadowserver.org/wiki/pmwiki.php/Calendar/20100129

The infected hosts basically connect to the HTTPS port, send some
garbage and then disconnect without the SSL negotiation even being
completed. My error log is full of stuff like this:

[Mon Feb 01 18:19:37 2010] [error] unusably short session_id provided (1
bytes)

Annoyingly for some reason Apache doesn't log the IP address in this
circumstance. Is there anything I can do with ModSecurity to gather more
information on this problem or to mitigate it somehow?
