Error during CTR processing

Dear TRU64 community,

After upgrade installation 4.0D -> 4.0F on an AlphaServer 1000
I regard lots of entries produced by /usr/sbin/dia as appended.

Although it's an entry type = "Time Stamp" (so it seems to be harmless)
I'm confused about the comment:

    ->> ** Error during CTR processing of EVT seg
    ->> - Canonical buffer dump follows

and about that there is no periodic distance between these time stamps.

So, what is the reason for this time stamp ?
and what is the meaning of the comment mentioned above ?

kind regards
Gert Winterhalter
