Yes, I know the format of the log, so it's just a case of tracking the
errors down. The customer reported that the utility in question fell over
a few times in last few months (it runs 9-to-5, Monday-to-Friday) but
can't remember when or what the symptoms were. Which is why I now have a
log file taking up over a third of my iBook hard disk!
