Sometimes (periodically as I use the traffic page a lot), it will stop loading,
incomplete, with a 'Document done'. I kinda suspected that what was happening

the time I had thought about it more, it was too late. But this time I saved
the truncated HTML, and then reloaded a few seconds later, and saved that too.
Then I forgot about it for 5 days - d'oh!

I diffed the files and they are different - ie the first one isn't just a
truncated version of the second. Which suggests to me that it is your traffic
script not asking for an exclusive lock or something?
