I submitted it again and things looked a bit more reasonable. Today I

So there is some massive database corruption going on AFAICT. Did I
miss a message somewhere indicating this?
I noticed something similar many months ago, where my machine's entry didn't
even have the right architecture. As I recall, I emailed the Smolt
maintainer, and he said it was probably a problem with the client-side UUID
generation not being random enough. As a result, multiple machines could
get the same UUID and so write to the same server database entry. That's
the last I heard about it.
