[Halld-offline] problems with reading recent data with many threads

Hi Sean,

  Nathan pointed me to this earlier this morning but I haven’t had a chance to track it down.
It looks to be only an infrequent event. Most likely something that was added in sync 
events. I do not believe there is any corruption of the data overall. I will take a look at this
this evening to see if I can track it down.

Regards,
-David

I haven't done a scan to see at which point the problem happens, but it does some to consistently occur at larger thread count.  A snippet containing the error is below.  Has anyone else seen anything like this?
