I recently received an exponent, ostensibly for first-time LL testing, that
seemed rather low (in the 11,000,000's).  I looked at cleared.txt, and this
had indeed been already done, by Account ID = XXX (I'll keep the actual name
and exponent anonymous for privacy).  Then I looked for other exponents
cleared by XXX, looked them up in status.txt, and see that most of them have
also been reassigned recently.  Is something going on?  Is there a reason
why 'cleared' exponents are reassigned, or is there some error here?  Is
there some suspicion that the first tests were wrong?  (I'll tell you the
exponent and XXX if you ask, but a little detective work would also reveal
it.)
