Enhancement for Message EZD1776I

We had an issue recently where we had a connection where we kept getting the following message.
EZD1776I IKE version 1.0 security association 9 for tunnel K3789 deleted
Without debug turned up I do not have an idea on what drove this tunnel to delete. We had an issue last night where our IPSec tunnels kept coming down but I was not really able to discern why. I had to turn on the IKE Debug and I see the following in the trace. (obviously for a similar tunnel)
Jun 8 23:08:36 NSS1S41/IKED IKED IKE: (00000004) Next Payload: 12(Delete), Payload Length: 0x24(36) Jun 8 23:08:36 NSS1S41/IKED IKED IKE: (00000004) Next Payload: 12(Delete), Payload Length: 0x24(36)
