It also happens to me using an absolutely ancient CVS version from 
before we moved to SVN.  It only started to happen "recently" though, ie 
a few months back or less.  It's also more common on some channels than 
on others, in particular "Lost" causes it whenever there is a major 
scene change

My suspicioun is that there is something iffy going on with the way they 
cut the scenes, perhaps changing timestamps?  Haven't had any time to 
even do basic debugging on it though
