I believe all my files have been analyzed but I am not quite sure. Here is
my problem:
Tail is still running. Most of the files scroll too fast to read, I am
guessing the extractor already handled them, but it stops on some of them,
and after a few dozens seconds issues an error. Sorry, my laptop is not
currently beside me, so that I can't tell the precise error, but I remember
there is "alloc" in it, maybe "bad_alloc".

I checked a few of those files and it seems they are all large files (at
least some of those I saw fail were around 20 minutes long). This evening,
during my 3 hours train trip, I'll move the log file to Windows (as I said
above, I don't know enough about Linux to do it inside the VM), check where
the errors are, check the sizes for each. I'll report back tomorrow.
