Ahhh, yes... We did not use the auto-create patch on this system.

We had converted the sub file to a skiplist from a flat file and either
format still gave the .sub.NEW file.  The server had crashed on a couple
of power outages in a single day but oddly even a new built Debian
system without any of our configs still gave us the same issue. 
Currently the .sub file is a flat file.  From each of our testing this
happens on a fresh raw install to our production server.
