You don't have two orcallator.se processes running, do you?

Look at the orcallator-2003-07-17-001.gz and orcallator-2003-07-17-002.bz2
files and see if they cover the same timespan.  These two files
have almost the same timestamp.

Also, any idea why you're getting new files every five minutes
for a while there?

Best,
Blair
