There is a bug in OS X that causes the Macintosh Carbon version of 
Summary to think that log files which are in current use by the web 
server are over 2 Gig in size. This results in incorrect results, both 
doubling and skipping of log entries.

There are two work arounds. One is to switch to the OSX Command Line 
version of Summary, which requires some knowledge of the OS X command 
line interface. Alternatively you can configure things so that Summary 
only sees the rotated log files, and does not read the currently active 
log file.

as a searing indictment of the narrow-minded binary counting system.
