You probably have a mount point or something else that's changing pretty 
consistently.

Take a look at the first line of each of these files and see what changes there are.

Every time orcallator.se sees the addition or removal of a mount point, ethernet 
card, etc, it will start a new file.  This is to work around a bug in Orca.

Best,
Blair
