I guess when he said trillions of log entries I wasn't sure how squil

20 million alert mark.  That chewed (from memory) a lot of disk and
memory.  Big quad box too.

That sounds well worth a look - still in tcl?  No Perl/Java/etc/etc
version? If you'd like beta-testers (and haven't already got them) then feel free to drop me an email.
