[analog-help] Analog 6.0 suddenly choking

Apologies: This is a resend because I mistakenly sent the first in HTML 
format and (maybe) nobody wanted to bother wading through the code.  I 
hope someone has an idea or advice:

Original posting:
I have been successful analyzing logs from our server at Network 
Solutions for a year or so but as of June 2 Analog cannnot parse my 
logfiles.  It reports a large number of corrupt lines and returns no 
results for any of the logfiles after that date.  Network Solutions told 
me they have added an additional field.  Whereas in the past they 
provided only IPs, they are now including website addresses (i.e., they 
are doing the DNS translations that I formerly had to look up).  Here 
are two logfile lines, the first from an older logfile that causes no 
trouble, the second from a new one that fails.  BTW, I looked at the 
error file after turning on debugging and if I am reading it correctly 
the problem in each line may possibly be the second hyphen following the 
IP address.  At least that's where an asterisk appears on a blank line 
below a corrupt line in the error report.  As for my analog.cfg file, I 
tried omitting/including  various LOGFORMAT commands with no change in 
the results.  Anyway, first a line from an older (working) logfile:

212.165.130.14 - - [02/Jun/2007:12:04:23 -0400] "GET /js/today.js 
HTTP/1.0" 200 1010 "http://www.centralcm.com/links.html" "Mozilla/4.0 
(compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1)"

And now a line from a logfile that fails utterly:

www.centralcm.com 24.228.44.169 - - [11/Jun/2007:19:44:12 -0400] "GET 
/catalog/images/sata_90.jpg HTTP/1.1" 200 8044 
"http://www.centralcm.com/catalog/" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; 
Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727)"

As you can see, they are quite similar except for the addition of 
"www.centralcm.com" in the second example.  I am baffled.  I can't 
figure out why the second line fails and how I might address this 
problem.  Thanks for any advice.  Feel free to ask me anything about my 
.cfg file, etc.  Thanks in advance.
