This is a bug in bbmrtg.pl  You can correct for it by altering the time
that bbmrtg.pl runs - delay it by one minute if possible...

You never saw this with bb, because bb launched bbmrtg.pl at fairly
random times - never syncronized at 5 minute intervals like cron...

I've got a decent patch for it somewhere, but I never got around to
applying it to 1.7  At some point I'll churn out a 1.8, but I'm in
training this week and will have a pile to catch up on when I get
back...
