No, failed monitoring on one of the reporting servers ... we added a second 
circuit onto our network in '07 to deal with some DDoS issues, and moved our 
secondary reporting server onto that circuit end of Dec, and failed to notice 
that it wasn't connecting properly to the database server ...

Everything is fixed now, but we lost the '1st of the month' data that went 
through that reporting server :(

I'm working on fixing the stats, as someone else suggested, so that we're 
dealing with 'last 30 days' (or even 60) vs 'this month', which will hopefully 
make the reported stats a bit less 'jumpy' ... working on that one tonight ...
