There has always been corruption of the logs. What seems to have changed here is that there is a new log format and the programmed exceptions in DLanalyzer are no longer able to handle the types of corruption as seamlessly as in the past.
The log format has not changed other than blocking specific messages together. The issue about the log corruption has existed in Declude for as long as I can remember.
In regards to DLAnalyzer it makes every best effort to determine if the log file line that was corrupted is salvageable. However, if you look at the log files and you will see from time to time the corruption will look like this.
04/14/2004 23:59:59 Qb45c04ab008c9990 Msg failed SPAM04/14/2004 23:59:59
Where the start of a new line will show up the middle of a test name. Due to this type of corruption it is very difficult when the user is running in auto-detect test name modes to know if SPAM04/14/2004 is a valid test name or not. Techinically it could be..
The one thing to keep in mind if you would like to phase these types of corrupted tests out of your reports you can switch to the manual test mode where you define which tests are valid on your system. There is also an import option that you can use where DLAnalyzer will read your $default$.junkmail and import in your tests.

I had the opposite experience. Back at, oh, 1.7x I ran on LOGLEVEL
HIGH, and had lots of log corruption. I had to drop down to MID. The
increase in spam volume made it such that at MID, I had lots of log
corruption again.
With 2.x and the lines being written in a batch, I noticed an
drop in my disk usage and a huge drop in corrupted lines.can

Hi,
Yesterday was actually a good day (here a snippet):
TEST # FAILED Percentage
18:51:58................1........0.01%
SNIF02/28/2005..........1........0.01%
SPA02/28/2005...........1........0.01%
WEIG02/28/2005..........1........0.01%
Sure, I used to get reports that were "clean", but considering it only
happens a "few" times a day, I don't consider it a major issue and I
live with it.to
Also I used to run in MID log level, but after 1.76 (or so), they
removed the test summary line form MID level, and I needed to switch
HIGH log level. It's entirely possible that the log corruption is notlog
really specific to 2.0x - but rather a secondary result because they
forded me to deal with tremendously large log files (vs. the old MID
files).---
