I've recently set up two mhonarc pages, on one of them (the one which
recieves considerably more traffic) I am seeing message numbers jumping
between 120-160 each time the cron runs.
I looked at your archive, and the message number jump increases
in size each time. I noticed a pattern. The message jump size
can be determined by checking how many messages get added to the
archive during each invocation of mhonarc. Here is a list
of message of some message number jumps with the jump size and
the number of messages added during the add:
Number jump jump size # mesgs added
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1458 -> 1574 116 9
1582 -> 1707 125 4
1710 -> 1839 129 6
1844 -> 1979 135 8
1986 -> 2129 143 5
2133 -> 2281 148 ...
If you will notice, if you add the jump size to the number of messages
added, that will give you the next jump size in the table. At least
the problem is consistent.
The mhonarc version is not listed so I have to guess. There was a bug
in v1.1* that produced this bug. See my original response to:
