Sure, I was surprised too. Anyway this is what I got:
{system 1}
[Wed Oct 30 21:00:54 2002]
UID: beejaybee/slug1, M8589491 completed P-1, B1=40000, B2=420000, WY2:

...

P-1 found a factor in stage #1, B1=40000.
UID: beejaybee/slug1, M8589491 has a factor: 42333443925749970809
{system 2}
[Thu Oct 31 23:12:50 2002]
UID: beejaybee/caterpillar, M8564431 completed P-1, B1=45000, B2=618750, WY2:

P-1 found a factor in stage #2, B1=45000, B2=618750.
UID: beejaybee/caterpillar, M8564431 has a factor: 9592239270614293063
There's no particular reason to suspect that a glitch on either system caused
a factor to be missed on the first run. I did have a couple of problems with
cabbage in the summer which turned out to be due to a UPS overload, but
that's fixed now.
