Ah, that does sound like what's happening.  Thanks.

They're supposed to be sequential, but it's possible I have some sort of
error there that can occasionally permit duplication.  Or perhaps messages
arriving from two different places to the same profile instance are using
the same message numbers at times.  Is it only necessary to keep message 
numbers unique within a session, or when I have a listener with multiple 
sessions is it necessary for them to be globally unique across multiple 
sessions?
