Duplicates in monthly log

I've been using Cumulus for close to a month now. When I tried to load the files 'Nov10log.txt' and 'Dec10log.txt' into a database, I found two duplicate records in the log files. One was on Nov 25, the other on Dec 2, both on 10:50. Is this just a strange coincidence? How can duplicate entries happen anyway?

They can occur at start up, when switching from data downloaded from the logger to live data, or vice versa, or (in the case of Fine Offset stations) if the station has only just switched to the new logger entry, so the calculated timestamps are the same. If they just happened in the middle of 'live' running, then I don't know what the cause would be.
