I'm not sure what is going on here, except that one cannot count on the order
of the messages being chronological. I haven't thought a lot about this, but
I can imagine that if one is running on the "hairy edge" of not having enough
volumes (or conversely having your pruning times too long), I'm not surprised
there are problems. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a bug lurking in the
code, but I can say that I have been running the setup described in one of
the chapters of the manual for well over a year, and it prunes volumes
regularly as it should, so there is always one or two pruned volumes when
they are needed without relying on pruning during the search for a Volume.
