Hi Irina

Please check your accounting detail file. If the records have 
Acct-Input-Gigawords and Acct-Output-Gigawords in them, then your NAS is 
sending you the extra information you need when the 32bit counts wrap but 
you are not logging that info to your sql database.

The default postgresql configuration has handled Acct-*-Gigawords correctly 
for several years, but we only recently updates the MySQL configuration to 
do so. The next release 1.1.7 (and/or 2.0) will have the correct support by 
default for mysql, but in the mean time you should replace your sql.conf (I 
am assuming that you are using mysql) with the one from current cvs
