David,

You might look back in the logs and see if there are indications that
more than one instance of dcmetr is running at a time (eg overlapping
process IDs in the log messages). Pqact could have problems with a pipe
and end up starting up a new stream if the PIPE had trouble.

I'm not sure if this is the case, but it sounds plausible.  Here's 
the log from dcmetr as recorded with the -d option:

I find it odd that sometimes there is two lines of output mixed together.

My pqact entry looks like this:
