No, it was actually three of the same named file (x2 as it comes with a
companion - total 6) and only one tic file (x2, one for each - total 2).
The tics were received with the latest installment.

The first of three sets landed in September when I was still using tickit.
The second in March, after I had switched to htick, and the third this month.
I check that log once a day so it didn't start throwing any errors into the
log until the third set was recently received.

I forget what schedule tickit ran on (at least once a day), but htick runs
every 10 minutes! ;)

I very much suspect the issue triggered because the REPLACES doesn't match,
which is causing files of the same name (with a digit added on the end) to
pile up and eventually this causes an issue.
