Just found out that the "triage status changed" portion of the  
"triage" EIM field needs to change to a signed Decimal with two  
decimal places. We had previously decided it would be a unix  
timestamp, but it turns out that a negative value makes for easier  
sorting and sub-second accuracy is required.

Sorry about the change,
