I do, in fact, use thin_storeconfigs.

I seem to have hit something of a rather nasty bug here.  I opened
up the database and did a dump and discovered this:

    INSERT INTO "hosts" VALUES(2, 'tools01.c44031.blueboxgrid.com', 
'67.214.208.43', '--- "--- \"--- \\\"--- \\\\\\\"--- \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
"--- \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"--- 
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"--- 
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"---
 \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"---
 \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"---
 \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

This goes on.  For some time:

[rlpowell@test02 ~]$ wc /tmp/dump
 511      5877 536988618 /tmp/dump
[rlpowell@test02 ~]$ cat /tmp/dump | tr '\\' '\n' | wc
536920329    5988 536988618

This means my database has 530 *MILLION* backslashes in it.

Which strikes me as maybe not the best thing.

Oddly </sarcasm>, this server crashes a lot.  Which is how I found
out this database was so big: I was stracing and it was doing
nothing but reading lines of \\\\\\\ out of this file.

I *think* I deleted this file already, and it got back to the same
state within a couple of days, but I'm not sure so I'm trying again.

So, I'm at a loss.  Help?
