Right, the exponential backoff restart process can include some random jitter which will build up over time.

If you've got a chance, could you turn up QUILL_DEBUG to D_FULLDEBUG, and send me the QuillLog from a crashing machine, along with your sql.log file? 

Also, how much free disk space do you have? The dprintf_failure files should have some data inside of them explaining why the dprint failed, and being out of disk is one reason the dprintf can fail.

That's correct, no other daemons are restarting, just condor_quill.

Interestingly, now that I have installed this version onto another
few PCs, the 1hr 25min is not EXACT. Two PCs that I "synched" yesterday
by restarting condor at the same time are now 2-3 minutes apart on
their condor_quill restarts. Maybe the condor_master restarting
condor_quill after 10secs isn't exact and the time diff gradually builds
up? I'll keep an eye on it.

Cheers

And just to confirm, it's only Quill - none of the other daemons show
the same restart every hour and twenty-five minutes?
