The reason was that there was a suggestion that there was an unwanted 
interference occuring between Time Machine and SuperDuper!, the backup 
program which runs a couple backups in the middle of the night.

The crossposting was an unintentional mistake on my part. An 
unfortunate property of Unison, the posting program I use, is that it 
fails to alert you when you are about to crosspost. Believe me, I 
cursed to myself the moment I realized that the crossposting was 
occurring and it was too late to do anything abnout it.
