Subject: important recording broke. why?

Yesterday I had an important recording (a radio-show I did) ... I had it
scheduled via at, the same command I always use, i.e.
ecasound -b:2048 -z:intbuf -z:db,200000 -r -ev -t:8400 -f:s16_le,2,44100
-i:alsa,default -o:laermraw.raw

OK, this has always worked ... now I read my mails today, and what do I
see in my inbox? the following:

is this a bug? btw this happened after approx. 2 minutes of recording ..

since I myself wasn't present (I was in the studio, doing the radio show
that should have been recorded), the recording is of course lost .. darn!
