The topic seems to have drifted from CAPTURE in UniVerse
to PHANTOM in UniData.

udt does it have its own CAPTURE problem sometimes
 http://www.indexinfocus.com/dl/u2list/200310/57567.html 
but that doesn't seem to be the problem described below.

PHANTOM doesn't use pid numbers for uniqueness,
but it does depend on _PH_/jobname_time_date
being unique, and I thought it always made the filename
unique anyway, but maybe that doesn't always work right.

Maybe udt is occasionally failing to resolve
a race condition between 2 phantoms that
are trying to create the same _PH_ file.

Does anything other than your cron job start phantoms?

Or could a new instance of your cron job start
running while a previous instance is still running?

Are you certain?  Isn't something doing "PHANTOM webster" ?
