Nope, successful requests are also down dramatically. It's as if a
part of each day's logs were thrown away.

Yes, barely 30% increase.

Almost exactly double - Aug. over June.

Aug. shows 1/5 the number of failed requests compared to June.

I only have a figure for "Corrupt Logfile lines" not "Unwanted".
Twenty-fold increase.

Nope, both log files use identical field structure with no
noticeable difference in record size.

Ok, this is interesting. I have no control over how the server
works or how it generates a log file. In july I went through a change-over
to where the server automatically compresses the files daily instead of me
trying to compress them monthly. However, I thought I took this into
account when I ran the reports. First, I downloaded the latest analog.
Then, I re-ran the reports for June and got an error message. I set
"logformat = combined" and reran the reports and got the same results as my
previous version of analog (2.90b4.) Then I ran the August logs. I compared
the log structures of the two months and found them identical in their
field structure.

There is nothing to indicate that such is the case. Other options?
