 The numbers for this month at www.bsdstats.org seem strangely low. There are
 currently only 1645 systems listed. There was only one FreeBSD system listed
 from Estonia, while I personally have more than one system (in Estonia) which
 did report in on January 1st using the monthly periodic script. Just now I
 re-ran the periodic script manually on one system and the number of FreeBSD
 systems in Estonia instantly doubled :)

 Maybe there is some change-of-year bug in the bsdstats website code?

No, failed monitoring on one of the reporting servers ... we added a second 
circuit onto our network in '07 to deal with some DDoS issues, and moved our 
secondary reporting server onto that circuit end of Dec, and failed to notice 
that it wasn't connecting properly to the database server ...

Everything is fixed now, but we lost the '1st of the month' data that went 
through that reporting server :(

I'm working on fixing the stats, as someone else suggested, so that we're 
dealing with 'last 30 days' (or even 60) vs 'this month', which will hopefully 
make the reported stats a bit less 'jumpy' ... working on that one tonight ...

There, I've just modified the code so that it reports on distinct hosts over 
the past 60 days, vs just this past month ... for those that *may* have 
reported several times but have changed their OS (in theory, the only way that 
could happen is *if* they save/copy their /var/db/bsdstats file across a 
re-build, mind you), their last reported operating system is what will show up 
...

This should make the statistics a bit more 'static', since we aren't reporting 
'from zero' at the start of each month ...
