There was a bug a while ago found by Andrey Fidrya (I think, the ChangeLog
entry is unmarked) that could cause lost/skipped records. I suppose if one
of those lost records got filled with junk sometime later you could get
that happening. It's not particularly worrisome if you're on a Unix
machine for reasons I'll write in my next message.
