Correction.... those 3 had no events processed, which I was falsely
triggering my counts on. Doing it properly, I found...

- 1463 files st_physics(_adc) files processed by FastOffline in the past 36
hours.
- 3 had no events processed (I haven't looked into this)...2 st_physics_adc,
1 st_physics
- 669 st_physics files, no iTPC issue that I can tell
- 765 st_physics_adc files, of which 60 had the iTPC issue

So it appears that it may only be in st_physics_adc files, for which we run a
different chain to run the offline cluster finder: TpxRaw, TpxClu. And of
those, 60/765 = ~8% had the iTPC issue.

More investigating to do...
