Jim, I saw the same thing on my graphs.  I had to do some file restore 
from backup sometime that day, and assumed it was due to the restore 
operation.  Guess now, it was nothing I did since you see it too.  Have 
no idea what it is, but I've seen it before.  Perhaps Philip can tell us 
what happened.
