A new "subrun" scheme has been implemented in mlogger to split a big data file into several individual data files. This feature might be helpful if a data
file from a single run gets too large (>4 GB for example) and if shorter runs are not wanted for efficiency reasons. The scheme works as follows:

subruns are created, which are equal in size. However, I can't relate their size to the byte limit set in the ODB.[/quote]

The UDP connection you mention is only used locally for inter-process communication. When I implemented that, I
made extensive tests and found that there is never a packet being dropped. This happens for UDP only if the packet
goes over a physical network. Maybe this is different in modern Linux versions, so one should double check this

It turns out that on 32-bit Linux, ss_file_size() returns the wrong answer for
