 OK, I did find a problem. I knew that there was a change in
 the format of the log files that we process to generate
 these stats, and I thought I had taken it into account, but
 there was one place I did not do so. The problem has been
 fixed now and the script will run again early in the morning
 tomorrow (Seattle time).

 Thanks for reporting this.
 Dan
