Doh.  I guess the 30 second timeout on the flows (even with it "automatically" 
resetting any time data is moved) isn't enough.  I bet some of the flows are 
stalling right at the beginning waiting on some earlier work and never get a 
chance to move data before timing out :(

I'll see if I can add a log message that prints out when a flow times out and 
says how far along it got before quitting.

Now that is really strange!
