The ultimate source of the data is the orcallator.se output files, so
I would begin there.  I would print the output files and grep for
the strings that appear in orca.state, like 10166985525 and see if
they are messed up.

I don't recall the exact data flow right now.

I would first delete the orca.state file, which is safe to do, and
then rerun Orca and see if there's any problems, or if the orca.state
file gets corrupted again.  If that doesn't work, then delete the
state file and the corrupt RRD files.

Can you send me the corrupt state file?

Best,
Blair
