The real problem is that cricket seems to grep for errors in the log and
mail them out on every run. So, for example, if it failed to collect a
sample from some system because said system was down for 2 minutes, then
on every subsequent collection attempt cricket will send the message
about the failed collection. This will happen until the log file is
rotated. It's a bug, but I just haven't got irritated enough yet to a)
fix it and b) file a patch report.
