ok, that is strange; I always have arbtt-capture running and never
observe this behavior.

But I see you are running on a MacBook. I didn’t even know arbtt works
on macs! Does it really capture window titles there?

From a technical point of view I can imagine how that happens: If the
sample is longer than what your OS is happy to write to the file at
once. Maybe I should stop using the very simplistic way of just
appending the samples to the log file and use something more
sophisticated. Or make arbtt-stats more forgiving if the last sample of
the file has not been fully written yet.

@Migel: Do you get the error always, or just sometimes? If always, maybe
your ~/.arbtt/capture.log is broken (in that case, have a look at
arbtt-recover).

Greetings,
Joachim
