I've got a bunch of entries (stop records) in the Calls table with
usernames of 'null' and a few that are blank. I thought that these were
the acct records that corresponded to the failed attempts. Every so-often,
I go and delete all entries from Calls where the username = 'null' or ''.
These records started showing up in the Calls table as soon as I added
RadLogs and RadLogMsgs to the Emerald (SQL) db last summer.
