No worries.  Thanks for running it. It's been very helpful for me to 
keep an eye on rules updates.

It does look like I was running it at an unfortunate time, 1 AM Eastern.  I
switched it to 2 AM, which I believe will fix this.  Thanks for the help
debugging, Kevin.

I've been logging versions every five minutes for the few hours around when
that update happens, and these were the last several changes, in Eastern
time:


2012-10-22-00-55 3.3.2 1400389
2012-10-22-01-00 3.3.2 1400596

2012-10-23-01-00 3.3.2 1400596
2012-10-23-01-05 3.3.2 1400804  error

2012-10-23-23-55 3.3.2 1400804
2012-10-24-00-00 3.3.2 1401197
 
2012-10-25-01-00 3.3.2 1401197
2012-10-25-01-05 3.3.2 1401586  error


So, the two times it updated between 1am and 1:05am were the two times my
script threw an error recently.  

I am running NTP on this machine.

I think this is a repeat FP.

At 12:08, the zone reloaded for the update.

DNS shows 1401586

That update is:

-r-xr--r--  1 114 3002 250810 Oct 24 23:51 1401586.tar.gz
-r-xr--r--  1 114 3002    823 Oct 24 23:51 1401586.tar.gz.asc
-r-xr--r--  1 114 3002     80 Oct 24 23:51 1401586.tar.gz.sha1

Is it because the update process is crossing Midnight (EDT)?
