Hmm, that *is* weird. It seems like the new primary must have reverted
its decision to go from timeline 4 to timeline 6. (Which in itself is
a bit odd; why not timeline 5?)
Can you give us an exact sequence of events on the slave server/new
primary around the time of the failover? Also, what was in the .history
file when you found it, and are there any other history files?
