In manufacturing, the keyword in this case would
be "ship it! (before it breaks)"  :>

I assume your bad log is now lost forever (perhaps
you could cut and paste it from your *email*, here?)
If you've got more than one of *anything* (in your
case, complete "identical" systems!), comparisons
between them give you lots of leverage in chasing
down problems!  I ran identical systems for almost
10 years for this reason.  Finally got tired of
having to keep updating both at the same time... :<
