Ok, two things:

1. The version you are running is outdated. The latest released version has a different session table, so the sessions also track the user's IP and user agent.
2. I am starting to think that the best way to prevent this kind of attack would be to configure your firewall correctly and limit the maximum rate of connections allowed from a single IP address (or even do temporary or permanent IP bans). I am saying this because the sysid is the same for all your logs. You should update FUDf, track down the IP and block it.

On a sidenote, the function definitely needs reworking to avoid doing an INSERT even if the key parameters are the same (e.g. IP, useragent and sysid). I will work on a patch.
