I have updated the wiper.pl script (/opt/rtcds/caltech/c1/target/fb/wiper.pl) that runs on the framebuilder (in crontab) to delete old frames in case of file system overloading.  The point of this script is to keep the file system from overloading by deleting the oldest frames.  As it was, it was not properly sorting numbers which would have caused it to delete post-GPS 1000000000 frames first.  This issue was identified at LHO, and below is the patch that I applied to the script.
