I don't think the timestamps will be a problem, I can always pipe it
through something else.

I think this will work, but it would be nice to have something that's a
little more well-defined and standardized to determine whether some kind
of error happens during replay.

Ultimately, what I'm trying to do is make it so that pgsnmpd can monitor
this, and trap if a problem occurs. In order for pgsnmpd to do this in a
way that works for a large number of people, it can't make too many
assumptions about logging options, etc.
