I know a lot of sequences were dropped on the floor at phri when
our network link was down for a while, so mcclb0 didn't get them either.
Whether that accounts for the missing killolocus or not, I can't say. It
is clear, however, that, at least given the current technology, the tape
copies of the database still have to be relied on as the only authoritative
ones, with the network updates being value-added, but not (yet, if ever) a
full replacement.
