If you have several different log files that each cover the same time
period you would see exactly what you describe. The full Gaps in Service
report will show the log file name, if they are all different that would
explain it.

If they are all in the same log file then something more complicated
happened. Perhaps the server clock was jumping around by ten hours, so
that log entries for now and ten hours from now alternated in the log
file, or something along those lines. This can happen if you have
extremely large downloads that take ten hours for some people to
download (rare, but possible), then the log entries would be out of
order in the log file.

Dr. Seuss books . . . can be read and enjoyed on several levels. For
example, 'One Fish Two Fish, Red Fish Blue Fish' can be deconstructed
as a searing indictment of the narrow-minded binary counting system.
