----------------------------

This is possibly caused due to an unknown corruption in the Exchange Tracking log file, which causes the Argent Exchange Monitor to continuously and repeatedly scan the same portion of the Tracking Log.

Excessive logging will also be experienced causing space issues on the Main Engine.
