Subject: checkpoint interval

I've noticed in the logs of our MOO that the MOO is checkpointing
every 20 minutes or so, yet the $dump_interval is clearly at 3600,
should be once an hour, right?  Is there something else that needs
to be set besides $dump_interval?

from the log:

Feb  3 12:11:08: CHECKPOINTING on lc.db.new.#5# finished
Feb  3 12:31:11: CHECKPOINTING on lc.db.new.#6# ...
Feb  3 12:31:29: CHECKPOINTING on lc.db.new.#6# finished
Feb  3 12:51:32: CHECKPOINTING on lc.db.new.#7# ...
Feb  3 12:51:49: CHECKPOINTING on lc.db.new.#7# finished
Feb  3 13:11:52: CHECKPOINTING on lc.db.new.#8# ...
Feb  3 13:12:10: CHECKPOINTING on lc.db.new.#8# finished

etc etc.... every 20 minutes.  Not that it's that serious of a 
problem, I'm just wondering why its happening. :)

No, that should do it.  I have heard of this problem before, with the same
constants (20 minutes and $dump_interval = 3600), but I've never been able to
reproduce the problem.

Jackie, would it be possible for me to connect to your machine to try to debug
this one?
